So the problem here is that, on a nontrivial portion of hardware, having
the input unmuted alongside the output results in pretty disastrous
feedback, which is arguably a nastier user experience than an
unintuitive capture-enabled-by-default mechanism. This bit of hardware
nastiness is not limited to any subset of codecs (or revisions of
codecs, even) or controllers either, unfortunately. The question,
therefore, becomes, "Should Ubuntu choose brokenness A by default over
brokenness B?"
Now, I empathize with your frustration, but at a distro choice level,
it's very difficult to judge whether brokenness A is worthwhile over
brokenness B.
I think in this case that we should evaluate unmuting the microphone
once a pulse client connects a source-output. Any opinions?
