Binary package hint: pulseaudio
=== SRU Justification ===
1. Fixes possibility to use "Internal Mic", "Front Mic" and "Rear Mic" through PulseAudio - previously this was only possible through alsamixer due to this bug. The modified file has been tested by two people (see comments below) who have confirmed it fixed the problem. This is a Natty regression.
2. This fix has been uploaded to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.natty/revision/349 - just branch lp:~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.natty as of today, and you'll be okay.
3. This only affects Nvidia chipsets. This was just a one-line copy-paste error that has now been fixed. I'm very certain that this won't cause regressions.
4. Test case: Start a computer with Nvidia chipset and an internal mic. Open gnome-volume-control and go to the input tab. In the fixed version, an entry "Internal Microphone" is present, in the broken version, this entry is missing.

Hello,
Recently I noticed that gnome-volume-control has stopped showing Internal Mic entry as the Connector for Input device. This makes it impossible to utilize the internal mic on the laptop. The workaround to run alsamixer and select "Internal Mic" as an input source works properly but gnome-volume-control does not show that the device has changed.
Unfortunately I am unable to pinpoint the exact date when the internal mic entry was still present in the connector list.

Hmm, this should actually be working better in Natty than before. Could you please supply a PA log? https:/
