In ALSA_TestDeviceForWine, the call to snd_pcm_open blocks if I have
any applications currently using my sound card, and does not complete
until all other apps accessing alsa close, effectively freezing wine
mixing is not supported on my card, so only one application
can open hw at a time, all others will block on snd_pcm_open
it does, however, work with
[ALSA]
"AutoScanCards"="n"
"DeviceCount"="1"
"DevicePCM1"="default"
"DeviceCTL1"="default"

Sound card is standard AC'97 that comes with nForce4
