Bug Description

Binary package hint: wine

from WineHQ:

When starting wine I get messages like:

ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0

this is caused by wine trying to use default:0 as sound device which doesn't
seem to be allowed according to
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm.html

Using plughw:0,0 also causes problems when people are using an dmix plugin to
allow sharing the input and output. As the dmix plugin uses the output in an
exclusive way. So it's eighter wine audio or dmix/alsa audio.

When using "default" instead of "default:0" the messages disappear and wine
uses the default path as defined in ~/.asoundrc

Yeah, ``default:0'' doesn't make any sense since ``default'' is an alias for the primary device on the primary card (or whatever you override it with in some asoundrc).
