Two problem areas we're not currently testing enough:

1) PulseAudio volume/mixer tests. Testing the "volume keys" tests that 
to some degree, but we basically need to test the volume for all inputs 
and outputs. E g, as a part of an internal mic test, one should also go 
to gnome-volume-control, ensure that "Internal Mic" is selected, then 
move the volume back and forth and see that the mic volume is adjusted 
accordingly.

For output, I've made an "alsamixertest" application which does a pretty 
thorough test. Once I fixed PA enough to do the right thing, I might 
extend this one to do input testing as well, but it's currently quite 
far down on my TODO list.

2) Auto-mute (plug in headphones and internal speaker mutes) makes sense 
to test separately. Or at least say that more explicitly in the test suite.

If we support auto-switch between mics, we should test that as well.
