Well quite. I had a long discussion with several people on the Wine mailing
list about this patch. There are downsides to it and they basically don't
want to maintain another sound system.

They think ossp and/or gstreamer will fix all the problems in time, allowing
them to drop all-but-one sound system.

It sounds like a perfect scenario but we're an unknown number of months away
from being at that point and people want working audio yesterday, not when
Wine get around to improving their sound framework or we have a usable ossp
framework (and the know-how to use it).
