This is an interesting bit - Wine developers are considering moving from gstreamer to something else:

Quoting: Cr1ogenAny News with Wine wayland?
I'm using it now - it's good, though there are some issues related to Plasma 5 which I hope won't be present in Plasma 6 (Debian was a bit slow in packaging it but it's coming soon). But those are compositor related I think. Wine Wayland itself is already very usable.

You need to enable a setting for the prefix in the registry. For example import this kind of reg file (or set it manually):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
"Graphics"="wayland,x11"
That will load wayland driver ahead of x11 one in the prefix. Or if you use "x11,wayland", you can unset DISPLAY variable on demand for the same effect.
