If OSS / Alsaoss is feeding nil it seems like VV is a dead-end until some  
more work is done on this.


ViaVoice did exist as an IBM linux project but it is no longer supported,  
you could try to find some old rpms or something. It was later  
open-sources AFAIK .... ?

It seems that Dragon NS would be a more fruitful path to investigate since  
I have established that the speak rec. engine does work under wine.

Also , although VV was bad Dragon does provide better results and has  
evovled further. It is still a commercially supported program.
