Wine developers on all places seem to say that winepulse is not needed
and that alsa plugin works fine. No, it doesn't work properly. I have a
problem with crackling sounds since I started to use pulseaudio (since
Ubuntu 13.04 to 14.10 currently). And it's not a problem with
distributions modifications as you suggest in this note:
https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16895. Exactly the same I
have with non-modified manually compiled version. These modifications
only show that problem exists.

Any other native pulseaudio application in my system doesn't have such
issues. Also winepulse works properly.

I "fixed" my problem with crackling sounds by using following environment variable:
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60
I don't know if standard latency is higher or not, but it works fine for me. And it doesn't affect whole system, but only single application.

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. With both cards you
  get the occasional pop and click in the sound suggesting some data
  loss somewhere.

  I've selected the alsa drivers in winecfg and the whole thing is
  running via the alsa compatibility layer in pulseaudio.

  Jaunty 9.04 UNR and standard Ubuntu desktop.
