wine users - Sep 2009 - Tested incoming sound with new kernels -- RT works, Generic doesn't yet

For me....
The latest RT kernel, 2.6.31-3-rt works for wine incoming sound, provided you
killall pulseaudio first.
The application I tried it with was Dragon NaturallySpeaking. 
It works when setting either alsa or oss in winecfg.  
However, the generic kernel, 2.6.31-9-generic, still shows a timeout error.
Conclusion?
Incoming sound in wine -- Maybe use the RT kernel if you have trouble getting
incoming sound due to timeout error?

Note to users -- experiences with incoming and outgoing sound vary. Outgoing may
be easier to achieve.  Also, the effect of latency varies with individual
programs.
In other words, that little latency blip that I get using the generic kernel and
dns may not be applicable to other programs.
DNS is very sensitive to latency.
