If you're only getting silence out, are you sure you haven't got the
mixer set up wrong? Run your favourite mixer program - I use aumix -
and make sure the device (line in, mic, or whatever) is set to record,
with a non-zero volume.

If that's not the problem, then could you get back to me with as much
detail about your machine (OS, version, audio hardware, etc.)?
