I had the same problem and I think I know how I produced it:
Hardware: 
IBM Thinkpad X24 with Onboard soundcard "Intel 82801CA-ICH3", running Ubuntu 
6.06.1

Audio was working properly until I attached an external USB headset. I've tried 
2:
One Logitech and one from CMedia.

Logitech didn't work, but CMedia did - so I selected CMedia headset as
sound device from "System > Preferences > Sound Preferences"

I only had this headset attached temporarily.

Now sound in gnome is behaving quite strange:
- sound during boot: yes
- sound in Totem: yes
- sound recorder: no (with error)
- audacity: no errors, but recording is broken and played back in other players 
with bad resampling artefacts.

I'm still having this error so maybe I'm lucky and can find out how to
fix it.

"Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia 
settings." is a really unhelpful error message
