Finally got the microphone working under Knoppix on my Aspire One netbook. The key was found here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-886200-start-0.html, specifically, the part about using the space bar to enable capture.

The steps:

1. Run alsamixer
2. Hit F4 to control capture devices
3. Use the right arrow key to select Capture
4. Hit the spacebar and you should see ------- turn into the red text Capture, and L and R show up on either side of the base of the slider.
5. Hit the ESC key to exit alsamixer.
