Would I be able to use my camcorder's built in microphone as my computer microphone for live applications?

Question

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC38 MiniDv camcorder and I was wondering if there was some way I could integrate/connect my camcorder to the computer and set it up as a microphone? I don't want live camera on my computer, I just want to use the microphone part, and I'm using for a broadcasting program, called SAM and also for instant messenger like AIM for voice calling. Any suggestions?

I have a firewire connection and a usb connection available for the camera to connect to the computer.

If you just want to use the microphone part then just go to a local computer store in your area and buy a set of headphones with the mic,

thats what I did and it works great!

Note: Headset costs around 10$-20$
