That is great news -- as I hope you can see, having and knowing that
the underlying sound system working is essential before trying to
do anything more complicated eg with wine and Dragon NS.

This may only need to be temporarily done, but is a good idea
to start with to insure that that the Audigy 1 is the only
sound device to be used.

I am not an expert in Wine nor have ever used Dragon NS.
I suggest you take a look at
<http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=15649>
which indicates that Dragon NS can be used under Wine but sometimes
it fails to find the device and mentions links to how to solve the
problem.
I presume you do not have pulseaudio installed, but if you do you
need to run the wrapper script
padsp wine {path/}natspeak.exe
Notice that the "dictation box" is not reported to work.
Also are you using 32 bit or 64 bit Debian. Some people report
problems getting the application to properly work on 64 bit systems.
If you do a web search then you will find numerous reports of
people successfully running Dragon NS under wine, so it is possible.

For specialist assistance, consider getting in contact with Susan Cragin
<http://www.blu.ORG/cgi-bin/calendar/2010-apr>
When you do get it working, you may also want to take a look
at Platypus,
"an open source shim that will allow Dragon NaturallySpeaking
running under wine to work with any linux x11 application",
especially if "dictation box" does not work.
