I'm personally not seeing any benefits of sound servers - always had issues with those. But back to the topic of pulseaudio Wine driver.

At the current state this driver has absolutely no advantages only disadvantages over ALSA/OSS Wine drivers. It implements the simplest interface (WaveIn/WaveOut) and has 0 acceleration for DirectSound. So it still puts 90% of processing (mixing, re-sampling, etc) back on Wine. And until this picture changes the answer will remain the same - there is no place for such a driver in Wine.
