wine users - Sep 2009 - sound timout error

When running Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I've started getting a timout error
with the generic kernel.
However, the realtime kernel seems to work. 
I have the feeling this is a problem that will eventually be solved in alsa or
the kernel, but in the meantime I was wondering if there was any adjustment I
could use to remove sound latency in wine.
Any regedit tweaks, etc.
