My concrete problem is that the front panel mic input doesn't seem to work. While troubleshooting this, I have read enough to actually almost understand the interface jumble that is the gnome-volume-control applet, but nowhere near enough to understand whether the actual problem is already

Isn't the applet you are referring to called gnome-volume-control (as of Intrepid, in package gnome-media)? That's the applet I get when I right-click on the speaker in the top menu bar and select open volume control from the menu. Here's a screenshot of gnome-alsamixer:

Does any specification exist for this feature? If not then I guess you can claim it's not a bug on the grounds that it doesn't fail to meet its spec. At the same time, the feature doesn't succeed in meeting any spec that I know of. That really sounds like a fundamental design bug to me. Does

Thanks for the co-operation. It would be helpful to know how this can be addressed in regards to improving the software (which is what the bug report would be for). How can the usability be improved? Is it purely a documentation problem, or are there other steps required. If it is documentation,

It's hard to prescribe specific improvements with confidence until I understand what the software does, and I still don't. So you could start with documentation, but my feeling is that documentation alone is inadequate, because a reasonably sophisticated user should not have to read docs to make
