So, your opinion is that someone has to rewrite ALSA stack in Wine to close this bug. Fine. Any ideas when?
As was pointed out in the recent wine-devel topic, there's not anyone actively maintaining the sound code. Volunteers/patches would be welcome to do this work.
<offtopic> I wonder why all the ancient sound backends still live in the code tree. Doesn't ALSA and Jack cover all user needs? <offtopic/>
People forget that wine is used on more than just Linux...OpenSolaris, for instance, has no support for ALSA and depends on OSS.
