[Wine] Removing pulseaudio affects startup / shutdown in Intrepid

[Susan Cragin]

I use Intrepid Studio, and have all updates as of today (29-Oct). 
As of a few days ago, my distro does not shut down or start cleanly. It is because I have removed pulseaudio. 
The same thing happens on shutdown when I have pulseaudio stopped with pactl exit. 
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what is the workaround when using wine?
pasuspender wine application.exe ??
Thanks.
