--- Comment #54 from Deve deveee@gmail.com --- I'm starting every wine application by script which sets PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 environment variable. And I don't have crackling sounds since a year or two ;)
Anyway this is the most annoying bug in wine. It simply should support pulseaudio natively, without patching anything. Other applications can do it, why wine can't?
