Comment:

 This all used to work in Ubuntu 8.04.
 Something changed to stop the digital amplification in ALSA being used
 when pulse is installed from Intrepid and Jaunty.
 Do you know what Lennart?

 ALSA also works incredibly well once pulseaudio is removed.
 So where is the resolution? The gnome-volume-control has been dropped by
 Jaunty. If I use pulse with Skype it creates massive lag rendering it
 useless. If I use hw microphone in Skype (the workaround for this) the
 microphone is faint and cannot be boosted.

 This is effecting many users and all paths lead to an issue with
 pulseaudio. So I have reopened the bug.
 Thanks for your effort on this, it would be nice to have pulseaudio
 working  as it looks like it is somewhat useful.
