The symptom is affected by two parts, one alsa-driver/linux and the
other a default setting (alsa-utils *or* pulseaudio).

The latest daily builds of linux-alsa-driver-modules (from the ubuntu-
audio-dev ppa) address auto-mic sensing for some HDA codecs.  The
Realtek ones are best supported in that regard; a few of the IDT and
Sigmatel ones are, too.  I can't guarantee yours is; you have to try it.

The second part is - perhaps - configurable via the alsa-utils alsactl
init database.  That is probably required if we wish to handle all
desktop environments, not just those that use pulse.  And, of course, we
need to ensure that the appropriate mixer profile path sets this by
default.

Note also that the easiest way to test a "default" environment is to
boot from a live cd (or thumb drive) after being powered down for two or
more minutes.
