Am I suppose to use pulseaudio for my microphone?

In audacity, if I select my mic with alsa it works fine. But selecting pulse I get no mic sound. So my mic doesn't work in skype, wine, etc...

Is there suppose to be some way of getting the mic working with pulse, or should programs be selected to use alsa for the input?

Short - no, you are suppose to use whatever you want. Little longer - is it usb of some sort, did you read wiki for skype and pulse? Also last time i check wine does not support pusleaudio.
