OpenAL turned out to be no good for our purposes, so we went back to the model
of writing multiple backends in Wine itself. The transition to a mmdevapi-based
driver model is mostly complete, if I am not mistaken only dsound needs to be
reimplemented on top of mmdevapi - winmm is already done.

Maarten Lankhorst has a mostly working PA driver in his git repo. However it
handles only mmdevapi and not dsound, so it's no good until dsound is moved
over to mmdevapi as well. Besides I think most people prefer to talk to PA via
Alsa. Andrew Eikum is has been working on the annoying bug that caused random
sound loss and a bugfix for this problem was committed to the PA and
alsa-pulse(part of alsa-plugins) git trees.
