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... > Default configuration setting Analog Stereo Output does not activate > microphones.

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)... -- [regression] Built-in mic not working after pulse updates on Karmic.
