Thank you for subscribing me, Martin.

I won't be making any promises regarding the driver. I still have the code
lying around, but it's far from finished.

There's not much I can say about whether it is a good or bad decision to
include PA support. But I personally think that software mixing is very
important; I'm a laptop user and casual gamer. Last time I tried, PA's ALSA
emulation wasn't working in Wine either. (But that was a while ago, and I
should try again with 0.9.7.) (Also, OSS emulation worked fine, just with some
crackling in the sound.)

Assuming that PA is going to polish it's ALSA emulation, it *might* be a good
decision to only support the ALSA API in Wine. But ALSA emulation is also
another layer inbetween, and I can't tell how that influences latency, which
also seems to be important to many.
