Finally have some time to reach this report...
We still need to check whether it's really a driver bug or a user
problem.  Please test the following:

- Check the generated file via "alsactl -f somefile store".
  Attach this file.
- This should contain "Capture Source" enum item.  You can modify that
  file (change value.0 and value.1), then run
	alsactl -f somefile restore
  to put the value.
- Look at ac97#0-0+regs proc and check whether the register 0x1a is
  changed by that.
- Finally test the PCM recording via hw:0,0.

The appearance on alsamixer is somehow confusing.  It appears not as a
"Capture Source" but individual items like "Mic", "Line", etc on
capture mode.  Then you can choose it by pressing a space key.  Since
this is a mux, another selected source will be automatically
deselected.


thanks,

Takashi
