still doesnt work at all. the menus look as bad as ever. BTW, Audacity is not able to either record or even play. pls help.

ditch xmms.it uses obsolete gtk1.2 .it is pretty hard to fix gtk1.2 annoyances.
use beep media player or audacious(both are better!).

Audacious is slick.
As for Audacity try changing your Language to English US [System>Admin>Language Support]
The solution is similar, i just dont remember it, just change the language

Yes changing the locale from en_IN.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 helped for Audacity once for me.

Mic Capture switch is turned on in volume-properties applet / alsaconfig ? Also enable Mic boost of +20db if your mic is weak.
