Can't get Wine to work with PulseAudio
I recently went through the upgrade to Gnome3, and (perhaps regrettably) PulseAudio with it. I previously had everything working with ALSA. Initially almost all sound on my system was broken in new and exciting ways. I eventually got most sound output working as well as mic input.
The only thing that still doesn't have sound is Wine. In winecfg the only options for sound I have are ALSA and Jack. I have the pulseaudio-alsa package installed, as well as lib32-libpulse and lib32-alsa-plugins since I'm on Arch64, but it still doesnt work.

Re: Can't get Wine to work with PulseAudio
I had almost the same issue (sound stopped after a couple of minutes when playing a game with wine) so eventually I reverted back to traditional backend removed pulseaudio, no more memory leak with vlc and everything are fine. I think Pulseaudio still has many bugs.

Re: Can't get Wine to work with PulseAudio
Hmm I was hoping to find a way to do it without completely replacing my wine package (which is what that does unless I'm mistaken). If that's the only way I guess it will have to work...

Yes it will, but I'm using it myself and find it improves audio tremendously on a pulseaudio system. Alsa output gets flakey depending on version/game, but pulseaudio has been good so far (comparable with OSS output via aoss, actually).
