First, make sure pulseaudio is installed from ports.  The package
version had a bug in it.  Next, try opening gnome-volume-control, and
make sure the input level is jacked all the way up.

Beyond that, I don't have any advice.  I'm not using Google Talk, nor
any other sound input/recording software.
