<pre>If I understood correctly, the problem there are two sources, the internal
sound card and the webcam, and pulseaudio decides to use the internal sound
card, even though it has no microphone actually attached to it. "pactl list"
shows that all ports of the internal sound card source are unavailable, so
PulseAudio knows that the internal sound card is unusable, but still does the
stupid decision.
I believe this is caused by module-device-manager, which KDE uses to manage the
device priorities. It doesn't currently understand ports at all, which means
that it doesn't check whether the currently active port of a source is
unavailable before deciding to use the source.
Thanks for the report, I hope this will get fixed. I can't promise any timeline
for that, however.</pre>
