I'm considering closing this bug.
- The OP said in comment #12 that the original issue is fixed.
- Crackling is possible in Wine because of a timer issue, but that should be
dealt with in bug #28723.
- We don't need several bugs open in Wine because PA needs a restart.
- Other people have found the need to restart PA outside Wine:

(even with the straight pulse driver, not the ALSA bridge!)

OTOH, this bug is currently the only one to link to 2 of 3 bugs I posted to the
PA bugzilla.

Wine is by no means perfect.  For instance, I consider the tiny audio buffers
that it currently uses because of mmdevapi to be a design bug.  I believe
wine-1.3.24 worked better specifically thanks to larger buffers.

If you experience crackling sound either without PA or when it's freshly
started and that is *not* fixed by the CreateTimerQueue hack, it's time to
speak up now!
