recordmydesktop microphone setup in ubuntu 9.10

I have a Dell XPS M1530 running Ubuntu 9.10 (Jaunty Jackalope). The internal mic volume was very low in recordmydesktop. I fixed it by changing the ALSA device in use from 'DEFAULT' to 'pulse'.

Everything is working fine for me. Sound is messy in Linux on most systems that I've used. Maybe the nicest XPS-specific thing I've noticed since the upgrade is that my wireless networking reconnects a *lot* faster when resuming from suspend.

I had lots of problems with pulse in Karmic; had to remove pulse. Now I use alsa, but ... had been a pain in the butt trying to config my mic in record my desktop. Sometimes works, sometimes not.
