            Bug ID: 50045
           Summary: [Feature request] Mapping Windows Named Pipes to Unix
                    Domain Sockets
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: 0e4ef622 at gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

The main motivation for this feature is Discord Rich Presence. This would
enable games running under wine to support Rich Presence with a natively
running Discord application. Note that it is possible to emulate this feature
using an external "proxy" program running in the same wineprefix.

Here are 2 such programs:
https://github.com/0e4ef622/wine-discord-ipc-bridge
https://github.com/openglfreak/winestreamproxy

Although they work, I believe it's possible and more ideal to have wineserver
simply serve a file descriptor connected to the socket when a game connects to
the named pipe.
