Although that is a major flaw on winepulse's part, it is something that can be implemented (especially if more people can would work on it upstream), and the same goes for any other other feature. The current winealsa, on the other end, has to rely on a (bugged and not reliable, as it has proven itself) third party plugin to provide any audio output on most current distros, and it can't really be tweaked according to wine devs' desires. That doesn't count at all? Or is someone actively working on a better solution to this 8 years old problem? -- 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.
