On Jlime beta4 you have a recorder/player sound application to use your mic.
It is the easiest way so far.
If you want to do that using any distro we wrote a bit of documentation on
Muffinman wiki. But I put it here so others can use the mic which is okey
to record ;) :

In order to record, the device's “capture” switch must be set. To do so, run alsamixer (Audio Settings), select your microphone (maybe you need to press TAB) and press space. Something like…

 CAPTUR
 L    R

should appear. Set the level of the Mic there with arrow keys :33% is okey for good quality.

Then we record a while using the mic with (CD quality, 8 seconds, wav) :

 arecord -d 8 -f cd -t wav test.wav 

Then listen your file with :

 aplay test.wav
