To avoid further discussion in this bug report, which seems to come back to
life every so often, could you (Wine's staff) set up a place where it can be
held, and where devs would actually give us (wine users) some kind of
information about this issue? Mailing lists aren't so easy to follow when one
doesn't have the time to dig through it all (I may be wrong, but the newest
information regarding winepulse on wine-devel is months old), and having
someone rationally explaining why winepulse is being kept away from upstream
(in a non-wiki form, where users could actually ask questions and explain their
perplexities and needs, and where they'd be able to hear actual devs explaining
the technical difficulties, with a real interaction between the two) would
prevent this bug report being flooded, AND it could also help to improve the
general opinion of Wine devs (which some claimed to be narrow minded and
refusing winepulse by personal believes/grudges rather than technical reasons).

Simple answers (eg. "we're working on it", "talk about it somewhere else",
"read wine-devel") won't really prevent this discussion to spawn again in the
future, isn't it better to face this problem now, after 8 years? I know users
don't really have the right to make any demand to developers, but so far we've
been ignored, threatened to being suspended from being able to post bug
reports, and mocked (as it has been said in the forums sometimes, "install alsa
or disable sounds" and such, which is plain mockery as some people actually
need pulse for a reason or another), I believe we deserve some clear answers
after all that.

So please, I beg you, set up a place where devs and users can, even for limited
time, have a constructive chat about this issue, so that everyone can have an
idea of what is actually gonna happen in the future regarding an upstream pulse
driver.
