Andrew, Hello.
I compiled biarch wine using your patch, and I am very pleased with it.
Background.
I use wine to run Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
NatSpeak is a resource hog and works best with Lubuntu and a low-latency kernel, which I have. But I had installed pulseaudio just to get wine sound working.
NatSpeak needs to be installed in a 32-bit wine prefix because it is a 32-bit program with "handles" to make it run on 64-bit systems.
Test.
You patch installed problem-free.
I tried running NatSpeak with my current wineprefix. It worked and then it didn't... I'm not sure what the problem was. So I created a new wine prefix and re-installed NatSpeak.
Success.
Winecfg showed me "default" and my two sound cards, including my Sennheiser PC363D headset. I have .asoundconfrc set to call up Card 1, so the default setting called up my headset. Hooray. Selecting the Sennheiser option in winecfg did NOT work. Boo.
So then I tested it.
Great sound. Great accuracy.
Checked alsamixer. The settings showed it was being accessed and had set the volume in the microphone.
Then, I opened a browser and tried a youtube video at the same time as NatSpeak on wine. Both worked simultaneously.
