Ok, this is an issue that's unrelated to the apt change. There is a new
version of libasound2 in precise-proposed, but you have the old version of
libasound2 from precise-updates installed for amd64, and apt doesn't manage
to pick a solution that upgrades libasound2:amd64 before installing
libasound2:i386.

This is an issue specific to having -proposed enabled but not having
upgraded all your packages to it. To avoid this issue, once you've
installed the apt from -proposed you can re-disable -proposed in your
software properties; then you should be able to install wine (and skype)
without problems.
