Many people who tried Maarten's winepulse can testify how well it works. Even if there'd been some misunderstandings in the past, he put much effort in his work, in an area where upstream wine's progress was non existent. Face it, "supporting" pulse via alsa-plugins is just not viable, it didn't work well in the past and it surely isn't working well now, winepulse is surely a better, fully functional alternative. Also, "use alsa instead of pulse" is just a way to avoid the issue which has been carried on for too long ( look when this all started: "2007-11-18 12:47:22 CST" ), most distros now ship with pulseaudio and sometimes getting alsa to work instead of it can be too difficult for a newbie user ( asound.conf, anyone? ). Many things have been said in the past, but now wine 1.4 is out, there is no code freeze... Can't you give eachother another chance and try to work together, now that there aren't any real reasons not to review winepulse? Stubborness, on any side, doesn't get wine good pulse support...
