There's the Carbon.Snd module, which interfaces to the old Sound 
Manager, and there's the Quicktime module.
I don't think the Quicktime module as shipped with Python 2.3 (which 
Apple ships with 10.3) supports capturing, but I think that the 
Quicktime module in 2.4 should support it. But: I don't know of people 
who have tried it, so please report back here whether it works.

You can also download and install the new Quicktime for Python 2.3: if 
you open the experimental database in Package Manager you'll see it 
listed.
