The volume control in karmic shows a text saying sth. like "no application is currently playing or recording" if this is the case.
But I agree that having 2 control mechanisms that work on different levels is an ugly mess, expecially because the alsamixer is only accessible via cmdline (I know "gnome-alsamixer", but it doesn't show exactly the same controls in my case, so I have to use the "real" alsa-mixer). It would be better to ingetrate alsa-mixer into the gnome audio controls, maybe on a separate tab or sth. like that, so that we finally have a single point of control...

Totally agree with that! But the "Analog Stereo Output" is NOT always the default setting! In my case, it has been "Analog Stereo Duplex", what's really odd since my mic did not work at all after installation (probably because of an ALSA bug)...
