This bug is still happening in both 12.04 and 12.10. Simple to reproduce. Use laptop with analogue built in Microphone. Plug in a USB Microphone and switch to it. When rebooting Ubuntu the analogue microphone is re-activated and NOT the last Microphone used which was the USB Microphone. In addition going to "Sound Settings" and clicking on Input will cause the Microphone to fall off the USB Microphone and onto the built in Analogue Microphone forcing the user to then reselect the USB Microphone. What is the likely hood of this ever getting fixed?

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio The problem I face is that after plugging a Logitech QuickCam, that has a built-in microphone, that microphone does not become active. I can switch it manually in sound preferences, but it does not becomes a default. Meaning that it wont be the default input after reboot, suspend, unplug/replug. I actually worked it around using udev and power management, see attachments. It's a hack, but works.
