natspeak runtime log with pasuspender

Dragon NaturallySpeaking works very well on linux systems that rely on
pulseaudio.

However, if it is installed on a system that does not come preloaded with
pulseaudio (such as Lubuntu) the audio does not work.

I tried installing in a clean Lubuntu system, and then tried installing
pulseaudio. No good.

I tried installing with pulseaudio running. Yay. Success. Then I tried to run
the program with pasuspender, with the following results.

fixme:winmm:MXD_SetControlDetails What should the sw-side mixer controls map
to?
fixme:mmdevapi:MMDevice_Activate IID_IDeviceTopology unsupported
fixme:winmm:MXD_SetControlDetails What should the sw-side mixer controls map
to?

patch by Andrew Eikum mentioned in 10495, attachment 48861, may partially fix
this problem, in that it seems to make wine access alsa. See my comments. 
It made NatSpeak run with alsa directly only. 
Did NOT affect pasuspender.

I suggest you mark this bug as fixed. The issue of NatSpeak running with alsa
is resolved, and that's the important part of this bug.

(Natspeak runs better under plain alsa, by the way.)

The other part, running Natspeak under pasuspender or not is trivial for
Natspeak users, since most current versions of linux seem to provide some way
to easily disable pulseaudio on startup, and most NatSpeak users will go with
either PA or alsa permanently.

Also, pasuspender itself may have problems.

This bug has been substantially fixed because NatSpeak now works with
pulse-audio AND plain-vanilla alsa. 
Pasuspender is not needed.
