It looks like from here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.patches/103536 that the patch that makes a pulseaudio driver is coming back sooner rather than later. There is also a 1.4rc5 source of wine that will build with a pulseaudio driver here: http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git
I have tested it with civ5 and no problems so far.
Apparently Wine has again rejected a winepulse patch after Maarten Lankhorst put a bunch of work into improving it in his wine/multimedia.git repo (http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git).
A discussion thread has been started about it on the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1960599
I'm actually a bit confused about the current state of things, as Art Taylor declared his earlier versions of the winepulse patch to be obsolete due to Wine's mmdevapi implementation, but then Maarten pulled it into his wine/multimedia.git repo and did a bunch more work on it.
