Edit: I re set-up everything and it does manage to capture input now; one thing I realized was its trying to use modrana which is not a listed dependency; maybe you want to use stock Nokia Maps for the N9? The not responding message appears but since I was outputting via terminal I realized that while the message appears the app is actually calling on google's speech api hence the system message is somewhat mis-leading... Also since harmattan-dev is down, python-gst0.10 can be gotten from my dropbox...
