Hi Jeff,
2010/6/25 Jeff Cook jeff@deserettechnology.com:
This is a patch that makes WINE detect snd_usb_audio mics and assign them a mixer and working master control. See bug #12706 for more information about this problem: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12706
I wasn't able to test it completely because I wasn't able to switch my default input device to the USB mic and no one in IRC is helping with this, but it might make things work because theoretically the only problem was that WINE was ignoring devices that looked like snd_usb_audio's microphones. I suggest that someone who CAN get snd_usb_audio mic as their default test it out and confirm, I would really appreciate that.
If you really want to force it, do lsmod |grep snd and do modprobe -r over all driver modules, snd-usb-audio and usually snd-hda-intel or something like that. Then modprobe snd-usb-audio and it will be the only audio device, so its always the default. ;)
