Don't have audacity running when you try.
I can get mic into audacity even with jack input selected.
I can get mic input into ardour.
Ardour does not get mic input if audacity is running with jack as input 
or if audacity has spkr selected in the mic input. That is whether
audacity is recording or just open at the time.
So it appears that audacity can steal all mic input and not pass it on.
At least with some options selected.

Also try qjackctl and open the connect window, you should see capture_1
and capture_2 under system on the readable clients side. Connect these
to the program input listed on the writeable side. That is if it shows up.

It was a while ago that I installed ardour - I'm not sure I had the same
error as that pr.

It looks like the error I had was NLS related and I think I assumed it
to be from my system having WITH_ICONV compiled in the base system.
What I changed was removing NLS=yes from SCONS_ENV and adding

${FIND} ${WRKSRC} -name "*.po" | ${XARGS} ${RM}

in the post-patch section. This leads to removing the *.mo lines in the
pkg-plist.

I should probably patch that properly as an NLS option and submit it.
