Fire up bugs please in case you've got problem after compiling and installing
latest alsa-plugins from git. Whining is a cool thing but the only way to get
bugs fixed is to fire up bugs and do anything you can to sort them out.

You don't know what you're talking about. PA is a buggy thing, alsa pulse
plugin is also a buggy thing, and even default ALSA's dmix+plug setup is a
buggy thing. Wanna details? Monitor wine-bugs list for messages by Andrew Eikum
and Jörg Höhle - they are working really hard to workaround all the bugs in
ALSA+dmix+PA+Wine that had been reported so far.

In case you wanna be 100% sure about compatibility - dual booting is a good
choice. If you can handle some problems - Wine isn't a bag choice either.
