You can have installed both: i386 libs and amd64 libs. It won't
migrate. It only installs i386 versions needed for your wine apps.

No. libasound2-plugins are multiarch.

Well, at this point you have to rely on Debian's multiarch system
which would be 34 MB additional used diskspace on one of my
systems. We won't build individual packages for special applications
like you want. You have to accept both, amd64 _and_ i386, versions,
though.

Bug closed herewith.
