Although that is a major flaw on winepulse's part, it is something that can be implemented (especially if more people can would work on it upstream), and the same goes for any other other feature. The current winealsa, on the other end, has to rely on a (bugged and not reliable, as it has proven itself) third party plugin to provide any audio output on most current distros, and it can't really be tweaked according to wine devs' desires.

That doesn't count at all? Or is someone actively working on a better solution to this 8 years old problem?
