I have been following your thread on the use of Linux in a Mac box  
and finding it very educational. However.......

I am not believing your statement as copied above. I do computer  
recycling for a local organization in Chico, CA, and am their sole  
Mac technician/volunteer.

Every G4 tower that has come through our program has had a built-in  
microphone socket in the back panel and the default system control  
panel for sound output/input clearly shows the ability to use the  
external microphone socket for recording vocal sounds or audio files  
by use of a microphone or line input cable.

Exactly which model Macintosh are you using for your Linux system? If  
I correctly recall your original posting, you are using a G4 tower?
