the point is that it's not easy to tell between :
- two physical sound cards (one ALSA, one OSS)
- one physical sound card but with ALSA and OSS emulation on top of ALSA
moreover, we'll have to store winmm card information to dsound driver 
somewhere in order to link them (and stop using the current hack)
that's why some driver configuration will be necessary in the registry

see comment at the top of dlls/winmm/midimap/midimap.c

for the other settings , you have :
- the list of audio & video codecs (in driver32 section from system.ini)
- the list of known mci drivers. Firstly, looked for in the options 
section of the wine config file. If nothing is defined, it's looked for 
in the mci section in the system.ini file

A+
