--- Comment #26 from Andrew Eikum  ---
I believe this is fixed by the following commit. Like jre said, Debian no
longer sets this environment variable, but if it did, I think it would work
again. I asked in #pulseaudio, and someone said that Pulse makes no guarantees
about its buffer sizes. So, we have to buffer data locally when it fails to
allocate the full buffer requested by the application. Setting
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC was one way to do this, but I think some hardware or other
software configuration can also cause Pulse to fail to allocate the full
buffer.

I'll close this bug in a bit if I don't hear any more feedback.

winepulse.drv: Buffer data locally when needed.
