Public bug reported:

I want to record sounds from my piano. For this I have a jack cable that
connects the piano with my laptop.

My laptop has an built-in microphone that I don't want to use it when
recording from my keyboard.

So, I connected my piano with the laptop by jack cable.

I can hear the piano sounds but Audacity records the internal microphone
sounds.

If I connect a microphone instead of piano, I can record the microphone
sounds using Audacity.

`pactl list sources` outputs this in the `Ports` section:

### Case 1

Piano is connected:

    analog-input-microphone-internal: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900)
    analog-input-microphone: Microphone (priority: 8700, not available)


### Case 2

An external microphone is connected:

    analog-input-microphone-internal: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900, not 
available)
    analog-input-microphone: Microphone (priority: 8700, available)

How can I record the piano sounds?
