Because the current architecture doesn't scale that well. You're free to try of
course, but I think you'd have a hard time trying to make a convincing case to
Alexandre that that part can be skipped. Realistically, I don't think that
requirement will go away anytime soon.

Doing that part would also make a more convincing case that you (whoever would
implement it) know what you're doing, which would make the second part more
likely to go in, but that's secondary here.

Well, winepulse.drv exists, it's just not supported by the Wine project. That
creates issues for people reporting bugs while using it, but that's the trade
they make.
