[Bug 275998] Re: internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio

[Rocko]

I tried using arecord -vv as per the instructions on http://www.alsa-
project.org/main/index.php/SoundcardTesting, and my faked "Digital
Capture Volume" DOES affect the volume recording level for this
application.

But it has no effect on gnome-sound-recorder (or Skype) irrespective of
which device I chose.

So it seems I have two issues on my PC:

a) ALSA doesn't detect/display the digital capture volume control by
default. I had to add it to /etc/asound.state manually (copying it from
Hardy) and do a sudo alsactl restore. I think this is an ALSA issue. I
have no idea why the control appears for some people and not others.

b) The digital capture volume has no effect on gnome apps. This is
presumably a pulseaudio issue since digital capture volume works in
arecord.

Btw, I'm now using alsa 1.0.18 from the jaunty repositories, but I don't
think it's all that different from 1.0.17.
