The -y option allows you to specify the sound device, eg. what sound card
you want to use if you have more than one. (Eg, -y/dev/dsp1) I don't
suppose this is your case.

To select the input from the device itself you need a mixer control
program, eg. aumix. This, together with selecting the required input, also
lets you set the required amplification/sensitivity of the input. You can
control it either in interactive mode, or by commandline; eg.
aumix -lR
will set the soundcard to use Line-In as input, while
aumix -mR
will set it to microphone input.
