As the maintainer of the winealsa driver I don't feel a good written
pulseaudio driver is bad per se. But if you want a complete review,
you will need to split up the patches in easily reviewable chunks, and
then send the patch series to wine-patches. This allows others to
review it as well.

First in the patch series that will create a simple waveout driver in
chunks. Then capture, then accelerated waveout, then accelerated
capture.

Cheers,
Maarten.
