wine users - Jul 2009 - How to lock a sounddriver to application?

Hi,

I am able to run several applications (games) using Wine. Some apps work fine
with the ALSA driver, some with the OSS. I noticed it is only possible to set
the wine sound driver as a default setting, so for all apps at once. This means
I have to select the appropriate sound driver which goes with a certain
application. This is frustrating, and hard to explain to my wife and children 
:?

Is there a way to make wine use a particular sound driver for an application?
Why is it not possible to make the sound driver a application specific setting?

Kind regards,

Arjen, Holland

Ps, I run latest stable wine under Ubuntu 9.04

It's not (currently) possible to separate them out. If it's possible
at all, I don't know...I've been told it's not, but I don't know
the
sound architechure that well.

You can setup two WINEPREFIX's to do that...
