So here's my issue, which I'm sure is related.

I primarily use Wine for running Spotify and a couple of other apps (on Ubuntu
10.04)

If I set the Wine audio driver to OSS, Spotify works.
If I set it to ALSA, Spotify always crashes when I attempt to play a track.

So now I want to use my Nokia Bluetooth noise-cancelling BH-905 headphones. I
can pair them with the machine and set the A2DP profile in PulseAudio prefs. I
can play music via Rhythmbox natively. But, I can't hear anything through Wine
apps, presumably because they are not properly interacting with PulseAudio?

In between, I'm fiddling around in winecfg to try different audio backends, and
restarting apps... it's annoying. I shouldn't have to keep doing that.

Most of these other audio playback methods are being abandoned in favour of PA
on e.g. Fedora and Ubuntu so it really does seem crazy that this has been open
for ~3 years and there's still an argument. I can see that in 2007/8 the future
of PA may have been in doubt but right now it seems like it's the primary way
of doing things, so it would be great if Wine integrated properly with it.
