SOX Recording on OSX not Working?

I'm running into issues with sox (http://sox.sourceforge.net/) failing to record on OSX.

I've tried hand compiling as well as insta开发者_Python百科lled via homebrew and get the same results.

As compared to running on Ubuntu:

Can anyone else confirm this issue? Any ideas why?
