Oh, I'd like to understand what's going on here, what is it that makes
recording so impossible with the standard udev detect?

I've done some research about the card with device_id=29. It seems to
originate from here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thinkpad-acpi (note
the text saying "As of kernel 2.6.33 the thinkpad_acpi driver now has a
ALSA sub-driver"). But it is loaded regardless of the manual alsa-source
load, and it always fails because of no working profile, and so it
shouldn't be the thing destroying the internal mic.

If we assume that you *don't* have the "load-module module-alsa-source
device=hw:0" workaround, is there any way you can get the internal mic
working, e g, if you first start a recording through PA (e g with gnome-
sound-recorder), then, while recording continues, fiddle with the
alsamixer levels the way they need to be fiddled with, will that enable
you to record sound in PA?

Also, if you replace "load-module module-udev-detect" with "load-module
module-udev-detect ignore_db=1", will that make any difference?
