Well, but Wine doesn't fix bugs for Windows programs. If a program doesn't work in Windows, it's not a requirement that it works in Wine. I think that the PulseAudio developer means the same thing for PA. Some apps use ALSA in a way that cannot be expected to work. In other words: it probably fails on some ALSA systems as well. Remco
