How to enable audio recording in Android emulator?

I've found several answers (like this one) that tell it is possible to record audio in Android Emulator. But I didn't succeed in finding any suitable setting in Android Virtual Device Manager and I still get an exception on the line recorder.SetAudioSource(AudioSource.Mic).

You can record the audio by executing:

adb emu avd hostmicon

In the documentation of MediaRecorder you can see that:

Note: Currently, MediaRecorder does not work on the emulator.

Even in the last API.

But I saw that in the class AudioRecord, there is no note for this.
More then that, I have found this code: 

AudioRecord recorder = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC,
        8000, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
        AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, 500000);
recorder.startRecording();

From here. And the code's author said that this code works in the emulator.

You guys are not able to record sound in emulator because the android emulator doesn’t support it yet. This code should only work on the phone.
