Comment 6 for bug 488981

Wine-pulse backend has worked for me for almost a year now. I do not understand the reasoning for WineHQ not to include it. And especially I am baffled that Wine in Ubuntu does not have support for the default sound output system of Ubuntu.

Please update Wine before Lucid release to include PulseAudio support and use it by default. In my experience this solves all sound related problems that Wine has on Ubuntu systems.
