I have the same problem with the Plantronics Savi W700 usb (wireless) headset.
another problem was that it interfered with mouse/keyboard.
the solution for the mouse/keyboard interference was recommended in another post by adding
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Plantronics"
MatchVendor "Plantronics"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
to xorg.conf which indeed resolved the problem.

but I still have the headset (headphone+mic) set as an Analog Output Card only, no sign of it in Input http:// dl.dropbox. com/u/13462314/ Selection_ 018.png dl.dropbox. com/u/13462314/ Selection_ 019.png
