It appears a patch similar to our problem is getting pretty close to
inclusion in the alsa-driver: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/278648. The link is about a lenovo
machine, but the sound chip and the issue is the same. Looking at the
patch might give ideas - hey, it might even work. Unfortunately my
internal speaker broke down recently due to a bad audio cable (known
problem), so I cannot investigate this further myself.

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.
