Sorry for the little rage in my last post, but so far it's been the only way to get a decent reply from someone.

I am (unluckly) well aware how buggy PA is. Point is, just look at the comments of this bug report. Look at the answers we've been given, or even better, check the wiki's sound page, or how many bugs have been filed for this kind of issue, or take a look at the forum's sticky posts about sound issues. Once there was even a lot of talk about a pulse driver after the new audio interface'd have been completed, then silence. Now I'd just like to know Wine's developers' official position about this issue, since so far I've only seen the kind of answers that I've reported in my above post, and the sound's been like this for... Mmmmh... I don't remember exactly, 6 months? I'd like to know what to expect from the future, be it "we are working to make audio work better with pulse through alsa", "we are working on a pulse driver" or "screw pulse, it won't be supported anymore", because that "pulse is supported through alsa, but you may aswell disable it since it doesn't work" thing is getting pretty old. Really, I appreciate the dev's work on such a big and complicated project as Wine is, but some news about this old (yet persistent) issue could help > In case you wanna be 100% sure about compatibility - dual booting is a good > choice. If you can handle some problems - Wine isn't a bag choice either. Honestly, I can handle random crashes, loss of data, occasional lag, graphical issues (I remember the old times when most games wouldn't even start with Wine), but they all get fixed sooner or later... This issue, on the other hand, has been carried around for quite a while.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371897 Title: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wine/+bug/371897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
