(In reply to comment #351) It has become clear that we need a PulseAudio driver, and one will get in eventually. Please continue to be patient as we work towards a solution that is acceptable for Wine. I promise there is active work being done on this.
Thanks Andrew. You might want to tell Maarten that, however, as he seems to be under the impression that hope is lost and that the only way to keep his work from being wasted is to take it directly to the community.
Maarten is aware, the issue was discussed in more depth on IRC.
According to Maarten, you are mistaken: apparently the latest version of his patch has been rejected out of hand with no consideration whatsoever. I find this news to be rather concerning, as is the fact that nobody seems to be on the same page about the situation.
