--- Comment #17 from Sebastian Lackner sebastian@fds-team.de --- (In reply to Andrew Eikum from comment #16)
jre, has this been removed from the Debian Wine package? Would you like an upstream bug filed?
The latest version in Debian repos is 1.7.55-4 (on Stretch and Sid), which still contains the line with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC. If someone here is motivated enough to improve those packages and/or to file bug reports for all the individual issues, I am aware of several other problems besides the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC environment variable, which should be fixed too.
Starting from unnecessary patches (file-handling.patch is not necessary anymore, the bug is already fixed upstream - applying the patch nevertheless breaks tests), missing wrapper scripts (frequent user complaints about missing "wineconsole" and other winelib apps), questionable design decisions (WINEDEBUG=-all is used by default, making bug reports here useless), and so on. There were even more problems, and also the build itself is highly questionable. Various autogenerated files (unicode tables, OpenGL extension tables, wineserver request tables) are regenerated during the build process, which potentially introduces new bugs / incompatibilities not present in official WineHQ builds.
