Difference is that I have to describe the device in wine while this
device is already described in .asoundrc.

What about adding registry parameter (or winecfg checkbox) to select
when user want to list software devices (with snd_ctl_name_hint()).
Then users who know what device is what can see all devices.
Seems like I can write this (registry parameter, not checkbox) ))

I'm a power user, but for what I have to wrote device name in regedit,
if I can just select it from the list?
What you think about my suggestion above?
