Uhm but it works fine for me. I started WINE via:

INPUTDEV="/dev/dsp4" OUTPUTDEV="/dev/dsp" MIXERINDEV="/dev/mixer1"
MIXEROUTDEV="/dev/mixer" WINEDEBUG="" wine
~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/PMR446-oldclient/eQSO\ PC\ Client\ PMR446\
Build/Client_PCM0ZPD.exe

And my app can record from /dev/dsp4 and play to /dev/dsp. :)
So where's the problem?

That is in fact no problem. OSS has a transparent software mixer which is
enabled by default - no matter whether your card is capable of hardware mixing.
In other words: I have software mixing (for input and output) in each case and
won't suffer from breaking apps. :)


On the other side I see your point: it probably won't work well with ALSA. But
at least with OSS, that is no problem.



> In other words what you asking is wrong and won't work.

Another wrong and broken thing: winecfg. It doesn't EVEN show both my
soundcards but only one. This is also wrong and doesn't work, by the way.



I am quite speechless. Even in Windows you can select the Input and Output
devices SEPARATELY. Just a little example: you are recording from a webcam with
an integrated microphone but playing the sound via your soundcard.

Thus I do not think that my modification AND my idea is as worthless and wrong
as you want it to be.

Ideas welcome.
