pulseaudio-module-udev has been subsumed into the pulseaudio package in Lucid. I've simply built it in the PPA for Karmic, so that's expected. The rtkit Conflicts I may need to readd just for the Karmic PPA version.

This is actually one of the reasons I'm using the PPA version -- to get early testers going through the 9.10 -> 10.04 partial dist-upgrade of PA. > Also, I now have twice as many microphones to choose from in the > Connector drop-down in the Input tab, four choices now: "Microphone 2 / > Microphone", "Microphone 2 / Input", "Microphone 1 / Microphone", > "Microphone 1 / Input", whereas before I just had Microphone 1 and 2. > Only the "/ Microphone" options work, but the audio now is also JUST > barely audible when recording, when amplified all the way. Input -> Line out Microphone -> (self-explanatory) If you have both options, you actually have a selector at the mixer level. I suspect you'll have to do similarly to the playback levels. There is a corresponding alsa-utils alsactl init setting that was just recently committed, but that will only land in Lucid. I can see about backporting that to the Karmic PPA, but it'll have to wait due to work. And it looks like it affects exactly what you mention next... > Also, my mic setting was reverted, such that I had to go back into > alsamixer and change my "Digital Input Source" from "Analog Inputs" back > to "Digital Mic 1", which I needed to do originally to get audio (that > was another bug), so that was a regression as well. Only in the sense that Karmic's alsa-utils alsactl init doesn't actually set it properly. But, the initscript does set it, so yes, there is arguably a regression here. The real regression is that PA seems to be doing things behind your back in a working session (presuming you did the upgrade while logged into GNOME).
