Thanks Andrew, but this makes it sound like none of the Wine compatibility issues with PulseAudio have been addressed on Wine's end via the mmdevapi rewrite. Is this true?

A link from your link suggests that a PulseAudio alsa-plugin fix may be in Ubuntu 11.10 that addresses buffer underrun issues. This is a good thing, but does mean that those stuck on other Ubuntu versions (or non-Ubuntu distros using older PulseAudio versions) may still have issues with Wine + pulseaudio.
