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.

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.
