So there are 9 things that should be fixed before this? Sounds fine to me ;)

The main reason why Wine doesn't have a pulse driver in upstream is because it
doesn't need one. We have tools like padsp or aoss that work for some people
and pasuspender for everyone else.

Another reason, as has been discussed, is that pulse adds unreasonable latency
to be used as a general purpose software mixer (as in one that is suitable for
professional applications).

Furthermore, no one has proven that a pulse driver is actually NEEDED. The
preferred solution is to modify, if possible, winealsa and/or wineoss drivers
to work nicely with pulse. In this case, a pulse driver would *never* be
needed.
