I'm no expert, but here's what I know. In ubuntu, the standard way to not have pulseaudio is to disable it among the start menu options, and then edit /etc/pulse/client.conf so that "autospawn" is uncommented and changed to "no."
Wine uses the default soundcard, so changing the default soundcard should use a little script in the user's file called .asoundrc
which should have as its text something that points to whatever soundcard you want to use. The following is a sample script that points away from the onboard card (which is 0) and to the installed pc card, which is technically card #1, at least on my machine.
pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }
I realize that this is all useless for someone still trying to make pulseaudio work with wine, even using pasdp.
I appreciate the info, but I fear that discussion of end-user workarounds may serve only to derail discussion of a real fix unless the Wine developers really have no intention of working this issue.
It should also be mentioned that this workaround has also already been discussed here. In fact, I recently commented that it causes me to lose the ability to adjust Wine's volume in Ubuntu via the volume buttons on both my laptop and my USB keyboard :(
