RecordInput from USB Microphones not available?

[Phil Davis]

Sivakatirswami -

Try this:

I have a Griffin iMic USB audio interface thing, into which I plug a 
non-USB mic. My Mac OS X sees the iMic as an audio input device. I can 
select it in the Sound sys prefs panel as my input device, and away I 
go! Then Rev 'hears' it just fine.

In other words, you don't have to anything special to Rev; it's a System 
setting.

Unless I missed something...
