Which audio backend are you using ?
The 'coreaudio' backend in QEMU has an audio_driver
struct which says:
    .max_voices_out = 1,
    .max_voices_in  = 0,
which I suspect means it doesn't support input.

Other backends like the pulseaudio one seem to have
input support -- you might try cross-checking
whether input works on a Linux host. (This is
almost always a good idea with "doesn't seem to
work, my host is OSX" bugs.)
