As explained in http://wine.1045685.n8.nabble.com/Bug-30580-New-Wine-incompatible-with-alsaequal-tp5682958p5693919.html
Something doesn't work with alsaequal and app 32 bits

$ cat test.c 
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    snd_pcm_t *handle;

    if(snd_pcm_open(&handle, "default", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0) < 0){
        printf("snd_pcm_open failed\n");
        return 1;
    }

    snd_pcm_close(handle);

    printf("success!\n");

    return 0;
} 
$ gcc -Wall -m32 -lasound -o test test.c
$ ./test 
Failed to load plugin "caps.so": caps.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

All works fine with 64 bits.

Same issue here, as a workaround, setting LADSPA_PATH to "/usr/lib32/ladspa/" will allow 32bit programs to work.
