Comment 77 for bug 371897

The only audio program in Wine whoch I use is foobar (v1.0). I have
emulation set to full. Most of the time, playing is fine, but there are two
issues:
- sometimes I hear a crack in the sound
- sometimes, the sound stops and I have to restart foobar
Both issues do not occur very often, but they happen (I did not test v.
1.1.38 yet).

I compiled a PulseAudio version myself, and now, I never have a problem (On
Karmic, the sound (winePA) would also stop sometimes but it seems Lucid or
the updated patches of WinePA have solved this issue).
