I do hope so. I've been testing that experimental winepulse driver once in a
while and I've just finished preliminary testing with the latest iteration in
its git repo (from today). While it's not there yet, when PA it's in its broken
state and games running on wine are producing just crackling sound with vanilla
wine 1.4-rc4, games running on top of this winepulse driver can produce more
discernible audio. I tested two games until now. With Crusader Kings II, sound
is almost normal, except for some crackling in the background and with Star
Trek Online, sound went from mostly crackling to mildly discernible with a kind
of "broken" echo.

That was not my intention. I just wanted to mention one workaround which did
not involve killing pulseaudio and thus be as unintrusive as possible.
