Karmic 32 bit upgraded from Jaunty.

The pulseaudio volume control and gnome volume control applet don't allow me to control the volume coming in from external audio sources connected to the line-in input. I have to use the old style gnome-alsa-mixer or command line "alsamixer -Dhw:0". The Karmic pulseaudio/gnome volume control DO allow me to control the capture level from the line-in, but just not the actual line-in itself. The same applies to the microphone inputs, however in that case you don't want to hear what is coming in over the microphone.

With a line-in, you DO want to be able to hear what is coming in. I think this is a major problem. Should I open a separate bug for this?
