Many people who tried Maarten's winepulse can testify how well it works. Even
if there'd been some misunderstandings in the past, he put much effort in his
work, in an area where upstream wine's progress was non existent. Face it,
"supporting" pulse via alsa-plugins is just not viable, it didn't work well in
the past and it surely isn't working well now, winepulse is surely a better,
fully functional alternative. Also, "use alsa instead of pulse" is just a way
to avoid the issue which has been carried on for too long ( look when this all
started: "2007-11-18 12:47:22 CST" ), most distros now ship with pulseaudio and
sometimes getting alsa to work instead of it can be too difficult for a newbie
user ( asound.conf, anyone? ).
Many things have been said in the past, but now wine 1.4 is out, there is no
code freeze... Can't you give eachother another chance and try to work
together, now that there aren't any real reasons not to review winepulse?
Stubborness, on any side, doesn't get wine good pulse support...
