Are you sure you are running K12Linux and not K12LTSP?  K12Linux used 
LTSP5 and I thought pulseaudio was one of the things that didn't work in 
EL5.  Most EL5 users run K12LTSP which was LTSP4.

If it is LTSP4 I really have no idea how it is supposed to work because 
I have never run anything less than LTSP5.

It looks like LTSP4 is using ESD for network audio but I don't know if 
the mic ever worked with that.

You might end up having to go to K12Linux with Fedora or EL6.
