Well, this may be a pulseaudio problem after all. It may not be a wine problem. 
For the first time this morning, I tried running audacity -- the linux version. (My \
system has pulseaudio purged.)  Audacity behaves the same way under Linux it does \
under wine, freezing when I stop and re-start the record function.  I filed ubuntu \
bug 369762.
