I will take a look, thanks for that.

It would? Doesn't the ALSA plugin always end up hiding things PA doesn't
think you need? I'm happy if that does work, and will re-install that
package since PA is otherwise more or less working for me on this box.
No when doing alsamixer -c 0 you get directly to the controls offered by ALSA.

Again, this mail wasn't meant as a criticism. It was intended for Google
to index so that someone else who is hitting their head against a wall
trying to get an F12 system that works today on that hardware can do so.
I'm all about not having hacky kludges in the longer term, but I am
personally willing to make a hacky kludge if it works today. For
example, if my mouse doesn't support drag and drop I am inclined to get
so frustrated with it that I won't run Fedora on the laptop at all - or
throw the laptop out of the window, which was the other option :)
Well but filling bugs and get the issues fixed will result into people
not having to google for solutions at all ;)
