wine users - Nov 2009 - wine needs asoundconf, and asoundconf needs a package maintainer

Right now, wine works best using the "default" soundcard and without
pulseaudio. Those of us who need to change the "default" to other than
the factory-installed change the card use asoundconf, a script that was
developed a while ago and included in the package alsa-utils by Ubuntu (and some
other distros).
Ubuntu abandoned asoundconf in favor of a gui tool that works only with gnome /
pulseaudio.
Asoundconf is a short script, but it needs a maintainer and a champion, and
Ubuntu has refused to sponsor it.
