Until wine works on a system with pulse installed (and we can get rid of the "REMOVE PULSEAUDIO" thread stickied at the top of the forums), I think this bug is valid and needs to be addressed in *some* way (I won't pretend to know if the best solution is OpenAl or winepulse).
There are currently two ways, remove pulseaudio from your system, or manually patch Wine with the winepulse driver patch.
Discussing Ubuntu upgrade policy has nothing to do with Wine. Please take it off bugzilla.
