On the Thinkpad W520 - and probably several other machines with
Conexant 506x chips - the Dock Mic and Mic are connected to the
same two selector nodes. This patch will make Dock Mic take one
selector node and Mic take the other, when possible.

Without the patch, both paths would take the first selector,
leading to the normal Mic's volume being controlled by
"Dock Mic Boost".
(On other machines, this could instead fixup similar problems between
Mic and Line In, for example.)

Motivation:
 * Bug tagged with regression-release
 * Takashi did not want to send to stable because it renames some mixer element
   (change of behaviour). Since we haven't released 12.10 yet, that argument does
   not apply to us.

David,

This patch unfortunately breaks audio on my Lenovo ThinkPad x230. I 
reverted the patch and then audio works again.  :-/

I was wrong. After watching some content audio died with this reverted 
too. Seems like its some other issue.

Ok. Do you have any strange messages in dmesg/syslog/etc when this happens?

There was another bug that surfaced when this first bug was fixed, see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1059523 - but 
without seeing your alsa-info I have no idea if this related to you or not.
