[Request]: Support changing audio drivers, like 'winetricks sound=alsa'
Tell us the problem or your need
Hello - Winetricks supports easily changing the wine audio driver using a command like winetricks sound=alsa
.
All its doing under the hood is changing a registry setting: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/blob/master/src/winetricks#L22594-L22621
Describe the solution you'd like
Having a dropdown option under preferences to set the driver to ALSA/Pulse/etc.
Other solutions?
A workaround exists for users to just set the Registry entry themselves using the reg editor.
Example:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers]
"Audio"="alsa" //or 'pulse' etc
Additional context and references
Being able to set the audio driver in Wine to ALSA can be useful with specific programs like professional audio editing software.
Popping in to say that I have attempted the registry trick, and It did end up changing the way Ableton loaded the drivers but not in a way that I could get working for me.
A Bottles audio driver option would be superb.
