"However, the biggest problem with PulseAudio is that it doesn’t have a

Ok, I can set up PA on my Linux (not really want to, as PA is known to
cause problems).

Does anyone here know an Win$ programmer? I mean someone that could
write something like WinESD -> virtual audio card driver in "native"
(non Cygwin, etc) mode.

"Also, the Win32 binary build <http://www.cendio.com/pulseaudio> didn’t
work for me, perhaps because it’s somewhat outdated and buggy."

WinESD at least "looks alive". I need to debug it on Linux side -> NO
debug output from esd.
