This is funny - I'm using Audacity more and more, and it's working great 
so far.  This is of course after many hours of twiddling the 1400 
combinations of audio & capture settings.  Sigh.

I think I'm using ALSA with it, though - as opposed to pulse.  As Kyle 
alos mentioned, getting skype to work was a bear - again, I tried every 
possible combination of settings (all the while praying that it wouldn't 
break my Audacitiy config).  I finally got the built in mic to work, but 
it was so muddy that I dug out one of those old mics that came with an 
old Dell box.

FWIW, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, Net Book Remix on an Asus EEE PC.
