There is some problem with the 1.0.22.1 alsa driver from Karmic's 
linux-backports-modules-alsa package, because when I have it installed I am 
unable to record sounds coming from the Line-In or the Mics.  I can hear them, 
but I cannot route them to a recording device using the "sound preferences" or 
Pulseaudio tools.  When I uninstall linux-backports-modules-alsa and revert to 
Alsa 1.0.20, everything works normally.

I wanted to report this because I noticed Lucid is using 1.0.22 as
default, so this is probably going to be an issue down the road.  The
Alsa change log for 1.0.21 to 1.0.22 indicates "ALSA: hda - Fix capture
source checks for ALC662/663 codecs", I don't know if that has anything
to do with it or not.

There is also some discussion of the issue here,
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1381013

For all I know this may be a problem with Pulseaudio.  The "sound
preferences" and Pulseaudio tools have exactly the same options in them
with 1.0.20 or 1.0.22.1 installed, but the difference with 1.0.22.1 is
that routing audio for recording just doesn't do anything.

Alsamixer has slightly different capture check boxes in it when 1.0.22.1
is installed, which may be related to the change log statement for
1.0.22, but I tried using the checkboxes in different ways and it
doesn't make any difference.
