To me KMix does not cut the mustard with Pulseaudio. Like right now: I 
am not actively using my built-in mic any software.

I check in KMix where is my microphone. I have a tab "capture devices" 
with a volume slider on it. End of story. "capture streams" is blank, 
makes sense I guess.

Start Pavucontrol. In tab "Input Devices" I see my microphone very 
active represented by a "horisontal column" moving up and down.
I can see that it is "Microphone 1" representing internal mic and not 
"input jack"-microphone.

In KMix I just have a slider "Internal Audio analog stereo" in mentioned 
"Capture Devices" - does that mean anything to anyone? Not to me.

If I start eg Skype and use the mic then in Pavucontrol the tab 
"Recording" contains the skype "channel". In KMix I have will have a 
"Capture Stream".

To me Pavucontrol is simply more logical. But the BIG difference is I 
can see and control my 2 microphones, my 2 speaker outputs (built-in and 
jack to speakers/earphones) where as in KMix those are not reflected.
