Oh - thanks. I already tried WINEDEBUG and wondered that I got no output and 
just realized that my wine was compiled with --disable-debug ... ,-)

So with a rebuild wine the most obvious hint in the log is:

warn:mixer:MIX_Open The sound card doesn't support rec level

Hm ... - might be the ALSA OSS emulation ... this is most probably what 
ViaVoice is missing. However I just noticed the error message is different 
when I use OSS instead of ALSA. With OSS ViaVoice complains:

"Can not use Audiomixer for sound playback"

while with ALSA it complains:

"No active mixers"

Is it possible that ViaVoice does want to use some Windows Mixer program to 
playback sound?
The alsa backend seems to have some more problems:
ALSA lib control.c:739:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL plug:hw:0
ALSA lib control.c:739:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL plug:hw:1

Which I think happens since ALSA returns an infinite amount of channels and 
such for the plug:hw:* and wine does use one of thoe values to setup the 
card. When I patch it to use hw.* I can playback audio from Wine and do not 
get the above errors.

Yours,
