Sorry, bad description on my part. kmix is an alsamixer equivalent for KDE. It doesn't play anything, or mix sound streams like dmix.

>That's kind of what i would expect to see. 

I wouldn't. Where is gstreamer finding a default ALSA device that aplay can't find?

This is linked to the previous question, why can't aplay -L or KDE4/phonon/gstreamer find the devices I create in asound.conf?

I wish there would be some more consistency here.

renaming your .wine folder (as to not lose anything), then try 
uninstalling Wine.

I'll try that. I have only tried removing .wine to recreate settings.

>For you to not have changed anything, and 
it just stopped working.

I didn't say that. I upgrade gentoo all the time. I even upgrade kernel now and then. Also I've changed from a ATI47** to an ATI56**. But these are steps that cannot easily be reversed.

Also, sound is working. It's just wine doing something strange. But I'll try reinstalling it tonight.

What I miss is something like what was used in the old ~/.wine/config:
[ALSA]
"PlaybackDevice" = "default" 

(Ref: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_Config_File)

If I found a way to do the same in the new .reg files, I'd be happy.
