Stop what? To me this seems to be an accurate description of the actual issue we are facing here.

Winepulse is not up to scratch. I haven't been very involved in the Wine community, but I do recall another bug report about dwrite breaking Steam because it wasn't yet working correctly. Not only was the dwrite code in the source tree, it was enabled by default (it shouldn't be). If incomplete code known to break important applications is part of source tree, why isn't wine pulse there? You say there are some "issues" with it. Sure, I can believe there are issues, however, code doesn't have to be perfect in order to be merged. Most code is merged after all the obvious issues found in code review are addressed, sometimes with known issues and TODO's. Eventually one by one the issues are addressed. Not merging the code because it's not "perfect" is irrational, and that's a fact. -- 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: Invalid Status in “wine” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released 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.
