Hi Jeremy,

You're looking for
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/dlls/winealsa.drv
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/dlls/wineandroid.drv
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/dlls/winecoreaudio.drv
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/dlls/wineoss.drv
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/dlls/winepulse.drv

note that a lot of the sound code is in mmdevapi:
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/dlls/mmdevapi

Andrew Eikum maintains wine's sound infrastructure, he's the guy you
want if you have more involved questions.

Good luck!
