I have half-way solved the problem, simply by mucking about with all of
the (mostly undocumented) options of Kmix.

It's also necessary to have the Red "LED" widget _on_ for the microphone
-- that's not very intuitive (lighting "red" means "on"?) but I did find
it buried in the documentation.

Why it's only halfway done is because I can connect a mike to the panel
in the front of the PC but I can't get it to work at all with the mike
connection that is directly on the motherboard. Maybe another few days
of playing with Kmix will address that too.
