If you are working with Ubuntu and testing the latest release of the
distribution then you can help improve the PulseAudio driver for Wine.

I have created a version of the wine1.2 package that includes the native
PulseAudio driver for Wine. This package is targeted at the Karmic
distribution, so if you are testing out the new release can you try this
package and see if it improves the Wine sound on Ubuntu for you.

If you try it, can you report back your experiences in Launchpad please, rather
than winehq.

You can install the software from my PPA

To install the software follow the instructions on Launchpad

Wine is now slower in adapting to new technologies than closed-source software
- Skype has PulseAudio support.

I must say however that I see less problems with wine 1.1.29 alsa backend
interaction with pulseaudio that there were before.

Isn't it acceptable to just use either the aoss wrapper or the padsp command
with your wine app? I've been doing it for a couple of years now, I think, and
I've had very few issues indeed. If the wine devs could somehow make wine take
into account the presence of pulseaudio in a system so we didn't have to use
these commands, that'd be great. I don't know for sure about things like audio
latency with pulseaudio using this method, but from my own experiences, it
shouldn't be a big deal at all, since I've been using pulse for both native and
wine multiplayer games for some time now.
