All driver registry settings should be in the audio driver property
page so it can be set from winecfg.

See line 85 in the file wine/dlls/winm/winealsa/alsa.c where
sending a DRV_CONFIGURE message to the driver currently
just pops up a message box.  This message is sent from the winecfg
audio property page when the configure button is pressed. 
Unfortunately it doesn't currently work because opening an audio
driver is broken.

Getting the audio driver property pages working would be a great
project for someone.
