I had similar probs with Dragon Naturally Speaking.
The GUI setup method kept complaining. I was able to get around one issue by finding the utility that did the setup (gentrain.exe) and running that under wine directly. That fixed that one nicely.
I would stay with ALSA plus oss-emulation on your linux system.
I would favour a clean VV setup on wine rather than copying the whole lot because there will inevitably be some filenames , device names , reg settings etc that are not there on you wine installation.
If you know you have working audio capture as you say, try to find something in the ini files and trick it into thinking you have run the setup.
HTH , keep us posted.

Hi all,
over the weekend I tried to get ViaVoice (98) running in Wine (20050524). The installation goes smooth - even the embedded videos how to handle the microsfone, etc. are displayed ,-)
However after the installation some "audio setup" tool is run to adjust the mixer level and maybe more like capture channel. This tools does just print an error that it can not find "mixer elements / devices" (translation from the german text I had on screen).
I tried a few install and wine config variations, including switching from OSS to ALSA - however without success.
I then tried to copy my trained profile from a real Windows box in order to skip this audio setup stuff. However the real applications then also complain about no mixer found. Capturing from my mic with some "proof of concept" and tiny audio recorder as shipped with ViaVoice (snwave.exe IIRC) did work.
Injecting all the windows partition content into the wine folder did also not help.
Are there some holes in some kind of mixer interface implementation? Is there some kind of tracing I can enable in order to take a look what kind of call did fail?
Any help appreciated.
Yours,
