Strange.  For over a year or more, Wine has worked well enough with PulseAudio
that I repeatedly forgot "pactl exit" after logging in, i.e. PulseAudio was
used.
So this "15 minutes" is hard to believe.  OTOH, I've had PulseAudio signal
errors in rare occasions, which are usually cured with "pactl exit" in
Intrepid.

Intrepid is nice because it works with and without PulseAudio.
It works decently with my machines, whereas e.g. Lucid has HW issues with audio
after suspend/resume and with video flickering :-(
I'm considering switching to Debian but it'll cost me time.

You forgot the fifth option which I hinted at: As snd_pcm_open returns -22,
retry without the extra config to not shut the door on all people with
not-the-newest OS (I refuse to say "old". 3 years is *not* old, except in
politics).

It is not acceptable from a user perspective that a hack for PulseAudio causes
loss of sound even on desktops that have PulseAudio installed but disabled.
