[Bug 10495] Wine should support PulseAudio

--- Comment #419 from Maurizio Oliveri <6tsukiyami9 at gmail.com> ---
We should all acknowledge that they're not gonna add pulseaudio support, due to
reasons that lack any technical relevance (whatever you say, "use a plugin for
alsa" makes any argument used along a *joke*). After all, this project belongs
to AJ & his crew, so we really can't do anything to force a change or a feature
request.

The best thing to do about it right now is to either use Maarten Lankhorst's
git repository and build wine ourselves (
http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git ) or, for ubuntu/debian users to use
this repository: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa .

It's sad, but it's been like this since 2007, and the best answer so far has
been "try this patch to our alsa driver!"... I doubt anyone actually checks
this bug report anymore (if any dev ever did), we'll just have to live with it,
and be grateful that the Wine project is actually here, or we wouldn't be able
to run Windows programs on Linux at all. Audio-wise the project is stuck in
2007 but and everyone that have any relevance with its governance is fine like
this, so... Just use patches to get PA support, updating this bug report has
been quite useless for 5 years now.
