I am not using a patch. I downloaded the source code directly from

, starting at 4 since there was already a winepulse.drv file in system32.

The git repository at repo.or.cz is not the official Wine source repository.
All the versions of Wine there contain unofficial, unsupported patches.

The AppDB has many howtos that mention using unsupported patches to workaround
problems, and you are free to try them, but you cannot file bugs for them. I
have added an admin note to the AppDB page you pointed to clarifying this.

Plain Wine does not create a winepulse.drv placeholder in system32. If you have
one, that wineprefix must have been created by a patched version of Wine. Some
distros, notably Ubuntu, include the unofficial winepulse patch in their Wine
packages.

My guess is that you have been using a distro package that included the
winepulse patch, and are now trying to use plain Wine you compiled yourself
with a wineprefix that was created with the patched version. The winepulse
driver is not working because it does not exist: the files in system32 are
merely placeholders. The real drivers end with .so and are installed someplace
like /usr/lib/wine.

The only audio drivers currently supported here are ALSA and OSS (v4). If you
have problems switching from ALSA to OSS, and have OSSv4 installed, you may
reopen this bug. If the problem is only with winepulse, report the problem to
whomever you got winepulse from (probably your distro).

Marking invalid.

Closing. Please do not reopen this bug, unless the issue manifests itself
if/when the winepulse driver makes it into wine.

Well, also coreaudio, but that's only on OSX ;).
