From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827 Description of problem: When selecting a recording device in gnome-volume-control other than the default, the checkbox is check but the recording device doesn't actually change. Exiting g-v-c and restarting will show that the default device (mic on my system) is still selected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.0.0-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open gnome-volume-control 2.Select a recording device other than the one already selected 3.Attempt to record sound using the new input device Actual Results: The newly selected device did not record sound. Also, on restart on gnome-volume-control, the original device is still shown as the recording device. Expected Results: The newly selected device should have recorded sound. Also, on restart on gnome-volume-control, the selected device should be shown as the recording device. Additional info: Athlon 1600+ XP RedHat 8.0 SB Live! Problem can be worked around by using aumix to select new recording device.
I'd just like to second the bug report. I have the same effect on my system.
We should report this on bugzilla.gnome.org as well and include a link in each bug report to the other one.

Actually I think it is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86783 (which is fixed) Workaround not complete since aumix doesn't work with f.x. SB extigy (aumix apparently doesn't honor the "exclusive recording source" flag in OSS.
