Comment 14 for bug 354620

I need to multiplex on a USB sound device and this doesn't seem to work with the ALSA / OSS tangle, plus it really helps to control the volume levels of each application. However with Pulsaudio having broken mic support across the board (tried three different devices and even more are listed on this thread) I am seem to be SOL. This used to work when I was on 8.10. Now I think I am going to have to go back to Windows because I can't get basic audio stuff to work under Linux anymore (and it used to work with some finagling).
