Ah ok, my bad then.  I thought you meant 1 of each headphone and mic.

Yes, true, not the easiest nor the most convenient thing to use, especially for the average user unfamiliar with it.

Don't know much about the problem and can't help you there, I never used a Mac before.  If all else fails, I guess you can always use ffmpeg (either to encode the audio directly, or pipe to some other encoder like neroaac).  But again, it's sort of inconvenient.
