* The Wine sound architecture needs some improvements. Nobody disputes this, but there's nobody who's willing to fix it either.

* I'd love to fix it, but the day has only 24 hours. I am busy with d3d, university, and I want some free time with my friends too. Replace "I" with everybody else who's working on Wine, and you get an idea about why nobody seems to care.

As has been adequately expressed in this bug, Wine is not perfect. There are many, many areas that need attention, and Wine has maybe 20 full and part time developers. And ranting that we don't care about users if we don't instantly buckle down and support the 15th sound API on Linux won't help.

* You can't fix problems in the core sound architecture by adding yet another sound plugin based on the broken core.

--> Anybody complaining in this bug report, check out the git code and fire up your favorite text editor and fix the issues. What needs to be done has been expressed multiple times here and on wine-devel. Now stop posting ranty wishlists and start fixing the problems.
