Trying out the latest alsa doesn't exactly fix the issue. Though I have been looking and it looks like the issue is with pulse audio. Reading this email:

Have a lot more understanding now. Looks like the issue is the pulse audio configuration. Some of the captures at the alsa level do not have the same name as those expected.

Seems the solution is to add the proper stanzas to the files. Though have not tried this just yet.
