Do you have a desktop computer with "special" sound card? Because _SNDRATE reports 44100 for me on a budget laptop. Also you must be on 32-bit Windows while right now I'm on 64-bit Manjaro Linux...
It might have to do with this "pipewire" impressive mess which has been added to lately, at least with Arch Linux and its descendants, by the creation of this "libpipewire". I keep reading in other places that Pulse Audio is not sufficient anymore for the most demanding multimedia applications; the solution is to upgrade to "pipewire-jack" or something like that, but I don't know how to do that.
It's not going to easily resolve my situation about VST plug-ins where each instance could consume 10% to 20% of CPU power. Also a freeware music creation application is going to manage those plug-ins less efficiently than a paid alternative like Bitwig Studio. Finally there is overhead out of Wine with 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system.
That said, 64-bit OpenMPT doesn't operate very efficiently on Linux with Wine even playing back only samples. It's supposed to be better at it than the 32-bit "legacy" version, however it requires Windows10.
