Comment 67 for bug 371897

If you'll just be patient - remember that most of us DON'T get paid to work on this, and are doing it to improve on the system that we use too! Besides, much of the delay here is actually an upstream issue; Wine is in the middle of transitioning to a new sound layer, and so won't accept a PulseAudio driver. If they would, we have an already-implemented fix for this issue in the form of the wine-pulse patches as used by Neil in his repository! If you really need this fixed urgently, I suggest you check my PPA, where I keep a package updated with both the latest wine versions and the latest release of the wine-pulse patchset. No promises, but it works for me!
