I tried BIOS A12 and it hasn't made any difference - alsa still didn't detect a digital capture volume control.

I did, however, manage to make alsa-mixer show a digital volume capture control by copying the definition across from Hardy into the /etc/asound.state file, doing a sudo alsactl restore, and restarting alsa-utils.

However, the control thus created has absolutely no effect on recording level. So it seems it is possible to fool alsa/pulseaudio into thinking there's a control even though it doesn't write changes correctly back to the sound card when you adjust the control.
