My personal testing of the winepulse packages shows no reliable
improvement.  The problem is intermittent.

On standard (ALSA) Wine, I occasionally get horribly skipping and
crackling sound in Karmic.  This didn't happen in Jaunty.  This is
usually prevented by running killall -9 pulseaudio before running the
program with Wine, however sometimes it resurfaces a few hours later if
I leave the program running long enough (especially when other sound
events happen, like an IM message).

On Wine-Pulse I see the same behavior - sometimes it works without
killing pulseaudio first, othertimes I get the same crackling.


This is the same as the testing before Karmic release, which is why the Karmic 
version didn't have wine-pulse.  Since it's a regression from Jaunty, I'm 
reasonably sure that wine's sound driver isn't the actual problem here, but 
rather pulseaudio itself.  For what it's worth, I haven't yet replicated the 
issue on Lucid, however breakages in graphics drivers there have prevented me 
from doing deeper testing.
