Jason, as your own post suggests, the microphone on the Macbook DOES
work. I think that is why it was changed. If you think that that bug was
marked as a dup and it should not be, then you should remove the
duplicate status. (and judging from the bug description at the top, and
your proposed working fix, then it likely is not a duplicate.)

Bug description:
>From orinoco8 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914510:

I have tried for some time, but my macbook air microphone is still not working. It's running Ubuntu 8.04 (up-to-date).

Tried alsamixer and turned on all the input devices. Skype picks up nothing (tested through test call). "Sound Recorder" records nothing.

Sound works fine.

>From kosumi68:

I can confirm that this problem has been present through all versions of 8.04, and it has not - to my knowledge - been fixed.

There are several possible source of the error, so I am reluctant to guess on a particular package yet.
