Isn't this an ALSA bug rather than a PulseAudio bug?
In Hardy, I could change my XPS 1530's built-in microphone recording volume via the control named 'Digital' in the gnome-volume-control 'Recording tab' (you have to enable it first via the preferences window). But in Intrepid there is no such control.
In Hardy, I can see this control in the /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file:
but this control is missing in Intrepid's /etc/asound.state file (which is created when I run /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start) and /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file.

}

This is with alsa 1.0.17. Hardy uses alsa 1.0.16.
I've also tried alsa 1.0.18 (http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=962695) in Intrepid and it doesn't detect the capture volume either.
