(Get the code!)
My personal testing of the winepulse packages shows no reliable improvement. The problem is intermittent.
On standard (ALSA) Wine, I occasionally get horribly skipping and crackling sound in Karmic. This didn't happen in Jaunty. This is usually prevented by running killall -9 pulseaudio before running the program with Wine, however sometimes it resurfaces a few hours later if I leave the program running long enough (especially when other sound events happen, like an IM message).
On Wine-Pulse I see the same behavior - sometimes it works without killing pulseaudio first, othertimes I get the same crackling.
This is the same as the testing before Karmic release, which is why the Karmic version didn't have wine-pulse. Since it's a regression from Jaunty, I'm reasonably sure that wine's sound driver isn't the actual problem here, but rather pulseaudio itself. For what it's worth, I haven't yet replicated the issue on Lucid, however breakages in graphics drivers there have prevented me from doing deeper testing.
