That's a distribution's own responsibility of course, up to a point, but please do take that into account when applying custom patches. When patches aren't in upstream Wine there's usually a good reason, certainly beyond what people sometimes perceive as "Wine hates PA".
As for the mail you received, Maarten Lankhorst has made it fairly clear that he doesn't agree with the way the Wine development process works. That's his good right, but at this point he isn't really associated with the Wine project anymore, at the very least not in the role of audio maintainer. In the mail you received he's speaking as the author of http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git, not on behalf of the Wine project. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371897 Title: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio Status in Wine: Confirmed Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “wine” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: wine I'm running the Spotify Windows application on two laptops under Wine with both internal and external USB sound card.
