Chris Robinson, the author of the main OpenAL implementation on Linux
(openal-soft) has tried to handle Wine's audio purely with OpenAL, but
ran into problems. I don't remember the details, but there are some
things OpenAL does not handle, like MIDI.

Please, if you have problems with PulseAudio, post the following info:
Which Application are you trying to run, which sound device do you use
(lspci or lsusb info), which PulseAudio version you use and the module
name of the sound driver (e.g. snd-hda-intel.ko, snd-usb-audio.ko).

PA is working fine for me with all Wine apps, *except* on my snd-usb-
audio.ko-driven USB dongle. For the USB dongle setting default-fragments
= 4 and default-fragment-size-msec in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf fixed the
problem. Andrew Eikum says that PA is trying to read 50ms from a 10ms
buffer Wine provides (Not sure if I remember the numbers right), which
naturally causes trouble.

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.
