I have recorded audio several times using a microphone plugged into my
sound card on two (or more) NetBSD/i386 systems (various 1.5.x and 1.6.x
versions). It has seemed to work fine.

My son has used it a lot to record singing and talking by using xwave (I
think).

My own system has:

eap0 at pci0 dev 11 function 0: Ensoniq AudioPCI (rev. 0x01)
eap0: interrupting at irq 5
audio0 at eap0: full duplex, mmap, independent
midi0 at eap0: AudioPCI MIDI UART

Have you played around with audioctl to make sure the record.* controls
are fine?
