Comment 5 for bug 290543

I see the same faulty behaviour in gnome-volume-control, meaning the "Toggle audio recording from Capture" always is off (the state with the white X on red ground on it) when opening the window.
I can't reproduce it right now, but it seemed like the state of that setting had some effect as to whether I could record something on my system or not, one or two hours ago today. But after also playing around a little with alsamixer, the microphone now always works, regardless of this setting.
