winepulse does not support midi , mixer
MIDI will need to be supported SOMEHOW.
If pulseaudio take up the role of Kmixer in linux , winepulse should provide hardware secondary buffers like the Kmixer in windows
...
why onboard HDA cannot use Full Acceleration (i.e. hardware secondary buffers) with winepulse
winepulse CANNOT provide hardware acceleration in any way because pulse is a software-only mixer that locks out all applications from direct hardware access (as well as dmix).
