Would you please provide some ground for your statement about rejection of the patch?

As far as I can see from wine-devel mailing list log, Maarten had been - and most probably is still - working on this patch for quite a long time. Last time he tried to send it to wine-patches, which was "try 12", had only been ten days ago. The patch is listed at http://source.winehq.org/patches/ page and is at "New" state - which is not "Rejected" obviously. AFAIRK Alexandre was out on vacation during that period of time, and that is a viable reason why hadn't been any conclusion made about this patch. Another thing to note is that there were no feedback about "try 12" version of patch on the wine-devel list. I wouldn't be surprised if this patch would be ignored unless there would be some positive feedback received from other sound subsystem developers (Andrew, Joerg). Needless to say that accepting a large chunk of the code at once into Wine tree isn't a thing that commonly happens. My expectations are that - likely - this patch would finally find its way into Wine, but it won't happen "right here and now".
