Title:
  [Realtek ALC887-VD, Pink Mic, Front] No autoswitch

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Pulseaudio always sets "Line in" as input source after reboot or logout. 
  When plugged the microphone to front jack nothing happens, the microphone doesn't work. 
  After manual switching to "Front mic" in "sound settings" the microphone works perfectly, but its entry in the settings still shows "unplugged".
  After reboot or logout the settings are lost and "Line in" is set active again.

  This bug is annoing - one have to switch the mic mannualy every time
  I'm logging in. Less skilled users have huge troubles with this.
