> FWIW, I never had two different ALSA devices on my machine here; the external jack just supersedes the internal mike if I plug in an external microphone.
To clarify this: I actually _do_ have two alsa input devices, one for the builtin mike/jack, and one for my USB headset. I specifically meant that I do not have two separate alsa input devices for the internal mic and the mic jack.
> I think that the gnome-media volume control does not yet allow the user to switch between input/output devices to control, whereas pavucontrol does.
I can properly switch between them using the pulse mixer applet (well, the one that we have by default now, I'm not actually sure whether this is considered a part of pulse or gnome-media now), so from alsa upwards everything seems to be just fine.
The question here is whether linux/alsa could expose the mic jack as a separate input device.
Reassigning to alsa now. Luke, Daniel, do you know how to find out whether Jerone's laptop is actually physically able to control the mic jack separately? Or Jerone, does that actually work in e. g. Windows?
