It says "Selected driver: winealsa.drv" and allows me to select the device to use for output and input but that's it.

Yea wine 1.3.3 whatever changed that.  You should be able to safely
ignore this part, but you can also I believe set this in the registry.

If you only have 1 card, i'ts probably safe to say hw:0 should work.
But:  aplay -l


> Lastly, under Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, I found under "System Settings-> MultiMedia" a dialogue that allows me to prioritise devices to use. It also has a "backend" tab to prioritise back ends. The only one listed is "Xine". So now I'm confused. Am I not using PulseAudio then? I thought that was the default. What is this Xine? I've never heard of it before.

Xine is a multimedia player AFAIK.  So the MultiMedia must be to
prioritize multimedia programs, not actual sound devices.  I think
Xine can be a bankend to send sound to other programs, but I believe
it's still using either Pulse or Alsa. You might want to install the
pulse-audio manager thingy.  apt-get install padevchooser  (IIRC) will
show you your sinks/etc that are being used, along with what programs
are using pulse for sound.

If you do thhat Pulse goes through alsa, alsa devices won't show
(youtube/flash in chrome, Wine programs, etc.).
