New issue 1208 by tjb0607: Linux Microphone Support
http://code.google.com/p/fofix/issues/detail?id=1208

When I try to use the microphone in Arch Linux, umm... What's my sound card  
model... lol :P I use the Nvidia driver, and when I try to use the  
microphone in FoFiX, it says [Microphones not supported]. The microphone's  
plugged in and the mixer levels are fine and stuff. In windows, when I try  
it, it works perfectly.

This can be recreated by simply setting up a microphone while running a  
Linux operating system. It may be a problem on my side, if so, I'll find my  
sound card model and stuff.

I'm using the latest FoFiX and Python versions (FoFiX-Git) on Arch Linux 64  
bit.

I have been having problems with other programs and microphone support, but  
after changing my mixer levels, it started to work. Skype distorts my voice  
and makes it hard to understand what I'm saying.
