Great, could you point me to the OpenAL driver?

If someone would write the pulseaudio driver patch according to the wine coding
standards (where are them?) and complete the missing bits (which functionality
is exactly missing/do we need more optimization?) would you accept it in main
tree, am I correct?

What is the point of having:
WINE->PULSE->ALSA
instead of
WINE->ALSA->PULSE->ALSA
?
It's pretty clear to me, one less redirection and functions call etc etc...
Again, clearly WINE->ALSA could be better, but as seen as PULSE is basically
the de-facto standard (and now -gasp- works) why not support it?

What about OpenAL? would it be like
WINE->OpenAL->PULSE->ALSA
or something else?

Cheers,

Ps. Just to clarify, I have been using wine in the past 3+ years to play WoW.
When in Ubuntu 8.10 (or 8.04 I don't remember exactly), pulseaudio came in, I
was losing 30% FPS because bad optimization so I wasn't exactly a fan of it.
But now, it seems to work, and because of that I guess it's better to support
it straight in wine.
