Back to the initial question:
Given what we have existing, right now, is there any set of instructions or workarounds that makes WINE apps work best? even killall pulseaudio ??
Yes, stopping PA and using alsa directly probably works best.
The other options are either using the alsa->pulse plugin or the oss wrapper of pulse. When I tested it the alsa->pulse plugin worked fine with the applications running under wine I tested, but you need to configure alsa correctly and there are still a few known problems (so it doesn't work as good for everything as directly using alsa). I didn't test the oss wrapper and I don't think it's usefull to invest time in that, the alsa->pulse plugin is the way to go.
