Well... the key doesn't exist unless I run winecfg at least once
and change something. In that case it's not really important because
a user will probably do that anyway.
The only minor issue would be that someone runs winecfg for the first
time and is satisfied with the defaults (no driver checked -> sound off)
so without any changes he dismisses winecfg. And in this case it seems
one of the drivers is used by default (sound on).

Cheers,
