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. -- 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.
