Johnny: Great, glad to see it's working for you :-)
As a further not on the alsamixer "fix" above, it just prevents the mixer from exiting in error, it doesn't actually give alsamixer working controls for the mic - you just get a "Front" and "Rear" volume control that seems to not save or actually work. Of course this has been a long-standing issue that's never worked as far as I can tell. I'm going to look at modifying the snd_usb_audio kernel module if I get time to add support.
Note everything is working great from the pulseaudio side though as far as I can tell.
