Re: Pulse Audio -- Wine should have instructions on this web site

Back to the initial question:

Given what we have existing, right now, is there any set of instructions or workarounds that makes WINE apps work best?
even
killall pulseaudio ??
I would like to post them on the pulse web site if appropriate.
I would also like to post them on the web site regarding installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking. 

Thanks.

Yes, stopping PA and using alsa directly probably works best.

The other options are either using the alsa->pulse plugin or the oss
wrapper of pulse. When I tested it the alsa->pulse plugin worked fine
with the applications running under wine I tested, but you need to
configure alsa correctly and there are still a few known problems (so it
doesn't work as good for everything as directly using alsa). I didn't
test the oss wrapper and I don't think it's usefull to invest time in
that, the alsa->pulse plugin is the way to go.
