Weird issue. PA refuses to use my microphone as input source. Instead,
is uses whatever is currently playing. For example, if I play an MP3 or
watch a movie, the sound of the MP3 or the movie is used as input.
In "PulseAudio Volume Control" (pavucontrol), in the "Input Devices"
tab, "Analog Microphone / Microphone / Microphone" is selected. But it
doesn't matter anyway; whatever I select there, the input monitor shows
activity only when playing something.
As the hover over suggests, the "Input Devices" tab only lets you select
a "fallback" device. Ticking the box doesn't actually change things.
You need to go to the "Recording" tab where you will see the application
currently recording. Next to it you should see a little button that lets
you change the device that is in use for that specific application.
Changing this will move your stream and remember it for later.
Also, what do you mean the "input monitor"? A monitor source, by it's
very definition, is only going to monitor a sink. If in doubt paste a
link to a screen shot or two and I'll try and explain better.
I don't think this is a bug, it's just a conceptual misunderstanding.
I've tried many combinations, but nothing works. Here's what "Input
Devices" shows:

The activity shown in the bottom bar is from an MP3 currently playing in
Amarok. The microphone or line-in doesn't generate any kind of activity.
Here's the "Recording" tab:

Here too, the activity is generated by Amarok. When selecting the other
choice in the shown pop-up menu, there's no activity shown, neither from
an MP3 nor from the microphone.
