I can confirm this bug for you but as far as the rest, uhm, well you see the way
things work is that there are no component owners. That might not ever change. 

Beyond that the real issue is that the reason that the buffer underruns happen
is that there is no practical way to currently increase a threads priority on
linux. That means that at times the process that is supposed to keep the buffer
full sometimes gets starved of processing time. The technicalities involved have
been discused many times on the Wine-devel mailing list. The most resent one is
here. (SetProcessClass and SetThreadPriority support)

It is not realy that it "keeps getting shrugged off as a system issue" there are
people (more knowledgeable than myself) that are concerned about it. In the mean
time I will confirm the bug.
