Macs have a combined phone/linein jack.  Only Mac microphones will work with 
the mac phonein jack (the mac phone jack is longer than a standard one, such 
that a regular length jack connects to the standard line-in input) 

That being said, I believe that the dmasound driver for the Burgundy chip 
has broken sound in (at least up to kernel 2.4.20).  I've never been able to 
get sound-in working on any of my B&W G3s.  An old soundblaster card worked  
fine, as I recall, though.
