Jerone, I don't think this is a generic bug.  PulseAudio is trying to do
the right thing, but as I mentioned in a previous bug, the auto-
generated HW profiles only work as well as the information Pulse is fed.

On my 13" Macbook running Karmic Beta, my default Hardware Profile as
displayed by gnome-volume-control preferences, is "Analog Stereo
Duplux".  The displayed soundcard icon includes the following text:

Internal Audio
1 Output / 1 Input
Analog Stereo Duplex

If I click the "Input" tab, I see single device listed "Internal Audio
Analog Stereo".  I also see a combo box for "Connector" which allows me
to switch between "Line-In" ( the usual external mic connector ) and
"Microphone".

So, in theory, if ALSA reports things correctly *and* your kernel
version of your ALSA codec fully supports your system, it should be
possible to switch inputs via the gnome-volume-control preferences.

That said, this *almost* works on my machine.  I'm able to capture sound
via the microphone, but when I re-configure to capture from the Line-In,
I had problems.
