Mh... Sorry, do you mean that you had to kill pulseaudio to get a good audio output, or that the patch works well with and without PA?
On NatSpeak running in wine, I did not have to kill pulseaudio to get good audio. My understanding is (from looking at winecfg settings) that wine used alsa. And I think Linux/Firefox/YouTube used pulseaudio. I was using the same headset to dictate into Natspeak/wine and listen to YouTube/Linux.
So the patch works well with and without. I am always looking for ways to make NatSpeak work faster and better because it's the only program I really care about, so I was happy to kill pulseaudio (and every other non-essential service). I'm a bit of a nut in that regard.
