I just said that because it's not a matter of not working with the
gnome-control-center or such, but not working with any default media
application at Ubuntu.

Are you able to play any sound using pulseaudio, like totem, rhythmbox
or mplayer, by setting the mixer by hand? If so, then I believe we can
close the bug as have another one just to make it work with the sound
settings UI.

If it only works with aplay, then I'd prefer to keep this bug opened,
as it's opened against linaro-ubuntu, and not at
linaro-landing-team-ti, meaning that this is still and issue from the
user perspective.

For me having another bug is just having extra paper work, as the
basic usage for the user is still broken (and can affect the whole
stack), and it's not going to change the status of our test
spreadsheet (as it's only relevant if the whole stack is working
out-of-the-box.
