Please describe the problem:
On my Audigy soundcard using alsa-{drivers,lib,utils}-1.0.12 in Gentoo,
gnome-volume-control fails to tell playback levels from the recording levels,
and they all end up in the Playback panel.

Since the Audigy has quite a lot of mixer levels available both for recording
and playback (that have the exact same name: PCM, Line, Bass, Treble, ...),
this bug renders the gnome mixer very hard to use. Again, when trying to hide
the levels in the prefs panel, I don't know which ones are playback and
recording.

And since alsamixer is able to set them apart and display everything properly,
Zaheer told me to file this bug against Gstreamer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3.

Does this happen every time?
