So there are 9 things that should be fixed before this? Sounds fine to me ;)

The main reason why Wine doesn't have a pulse driver in upstream is because it doesn't need one. We have tools like padsp or aoss that work for some people and pasuspender for everyone else.
Another reason, as has been discussed, is that pulse adds unreasonable latency to be used as a general purpose software mixer (as in one that is suitable for professional applications).
Furthermore, no one has proven that a pulse driver is actually NEEDED. The preferred solution is to modify, if possible, winealsa and/or wineoss drivers to work nicely with pulse. In this case, a pulse driver would *never* be needed.
