 When I plug in my USB webcam  (Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks), PA
 recognizes its built-in mic just fine, but I am forced to go into GNOME's
 sound properties, and manually select the radio button for the mic, even
 though there is no other input source listed in the Input tab.

 (The system has another input -- the sound card's mic input -- but I
 disabled that in the Hardware tab in hopes that PA would get the clue
 about using the USB mic.)

 I read the "Canned Response" about defaults/fallbacks, but does PA really
 need to be told what to do when a new input source shows up... when there
 weren't any others to choose from previously?

 For reference, I'm running the Fedora 13 beta, on this PC:
