wine users - Jul 2011 - Paltalk sound input problem.

I'm trying to use Paltalk under wine but I can't get the microphone to
work properly.

I have 3 versions of wine available on my OpenSuse 11.4 64bit distribution.

1.3.12.14:

This works perfectly with (windows version/ wine ) Audacity both for recording
and playback using the alsa default devices.  The only problem I have noticed is
that every sound device is listed as USB audio which is not the case.

Playback is fine under Paltalk but I can not get it to accept sound input. It
records nothing.  I'd guess it is selecting the wrong input device but
I've no idea how to check or fix this.

1.3.24 and 1.3.25:

This fixes the device listings I can view for Audacity and enables me to record
sound under Paltalk but with these versions, recording is very broken up and
distorted.  They seem to fix one thing but break another.

Any suggestions as to either ensure that Paltalk gets the right device under
1.3.12 or how to fix the recording quality under one of the later versions?

The card I am trying to use is a Yamaha MW10C mixer which uses usb-audio.

I noticed that the versions I have are development ones so I tried building wine
1.2.3 (shared 64 bit).

The behaviour is different again.  

Using Audacity as my guide as to what wine/"Windows" is seeing, using
alsa from winecfg shows no input or devices.  This version allows me to try Jack
(no devices) and OS (devices display correctly but recording then playing back
gives a sort of buzzing sound over my voice).
