Ekiga, 9.04 (Jaunty), HDA Intel (ALSA mixer)

[Dave]

If I run alsamixer from the command line, tab to capture and switch 
the first "Input So" from "Mic" to "Front Mic" and then back to 
"Mic", Ekiga starts working. This seems pretty repeatable.

Is there a way I can try this from a script and see if that will work 
around the problem? Is there a way to issue commands to alsamixer 
from the command line? Maybe I can write a script that will toggle 
the Mic input before starting Ekiga. I know this is a crude 
work-around but I really need to get Ekiga working on boot-up without 
user intervention.
