OK, with 11 and not LL I did get it installed. And I had changed HOME to the actual name of my home file, which I should not have.
I followed all instructions, and then I re-booted.
And then I tried to run Audacity (in Linux, not in wine).
I opened the program and hit "Record." And I recorded.
I stopped the recording.
I hit "record" again, and the application stopped, and did not record.
The error message is as follows.

Latency Correction setting has caused the recorded audio to be hidden before zero.
Audacity has brought it back to start at zero.
You may have to use the Time Shift Tool (<---> or F5) to drag the track to the right place.

Basically, I think that when pulseaudio is not used -- no matter how you stop it -- something goes bad when you do exactly that sequence of events: sound input / stop / sound input.
It's the same for audacity in Linux as it is for dragon naturally speaking in wine. In DNS, during training, you dictate a short sentence to test volume, then stop it, then dictate a short sentence to test sound quality. And that second test cannot complete.
