This is still an issue in wine 1.1.18. USB Microphones in alsa have *only one*
control, and it is the microphone control. They have zero output/master
controls, which wine seems to require.

Using the following '.asoundrc' file, i can specify a new default pseudo-device
that has my speakers as an output and the USB mic as an input:

pcm.!default {
        type asym
        playback.pcm {
                type plug
                slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
        }
        capture.pcm {
                type plug
                slave.pcm "hw:2,0"
        }
}

This functions as a workaround and my mic works fine in wine.
