 Wine is unable to use PulseAudio Alsa plugin.

 This is my /etc/asound.conf:

 pcm.pulse {
     type pulse
 }
 ctl.pulse {
     type pulse
 }
 pcm.!default {
     type pulse
 }
 ctl.!default {
     type pulse
 }

 This is registry entries for Alsa configuration in Wine:

 REGEDIT4

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Alsa Driver]

 "AutoScanCards"="N"

 "AutoScanDevices"="N"

 "DeviceCount"="1"

 "DeviceCTL1"="pulse"

 "DevicePCM1"="pulse"

 "UseDirectHW"="N"


 And I get this error in wine log:

 err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element


 I tracked it in wine source code to file dlls/winealsa.drv/alsa.c

 With following comment:


 /* Setup and find an element id that exactly matches the characteristic we
 want
  ** FIXME:  It is probably short sighted to hard code and fixate on PCM
 Playback Volume */


 Probably PulseAudio Alsa emulation does not provide enough (or provides
 wrong) control.
