Comment 1 for bug 369933

The reason this has not been implemented is because most sound cards have an option (like jack does) to change the output volume of the microphone. In gnome-volume-control, I have a microphone volume in the recording section, and a microphone volume in the playback section. If I increase this volume in the playback section I can hear what I am recording through my speakers.

If enough people have sound cards which don't allow this then we can implement it in jokosher as well.
