probably useless wine output

similar to bug 37957, when playing skyrim, there's no sound from front or back.
Example: in order to hear a NPC, you have to turn your side to him.

Tested this on new wineprefix (wow64 setup) and double checked the audio tab in
winecfg (every device is set to stereo). Also tested mono as well as
quadrophone (I do have 4.1 speakers), but sound will only play from
side-speakers.

Sound in other games (dishonored, resident evil revelations, aliens colonial
marines) works normally. In those games however, you can change sound to
stereo/surround via settings. Skyrim does not offer this.

Is there a way to 'force' a specific application to use stereo/surround and how
can you disable this?
