[Bug 437749] [NEW] Ubuntu should ship wine with the wine-pulse patches

[Oli]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wine1.2

As Ubuntu wants to push Pulseaudio so hard, it makes sense to ship wine
with the option to use Pulseaudio directly.

As it stands, there is a collection of patches which adds another audio-
driver: http://art.ified.ca/?page_id=40

I'm suggesting that Wine be built with these patches applied so that
people can choose the Pulseaudio sink if that suits them best.

This has been brought up multiple times with the Wine project directly
and they refuse to ship it (for various reasons, some more valid than
others). It's based on an older driver so isn't elegant; it hacks around
a few things and a few things don't work... But it currently works (for
me and others) a lot better than using its ALSA driver.

It shouldn't be the default driver but it should be there so people with
Wine audio issues can try it for sweet relief.

I'm applying the patches to this bug but they can (and probably should)
be downloaded directly from the art.ified.ca project site as linked
above.
