These have been fixed in the latest version (3.5-beta9) of the sound
driver. The reason was just that .depend was included twice in the Makefile.

Unfortunately I cannot make these changes. Mic gain was earlier 0 but it
caused lot of confusion since all recordings were completely silent with
the default settings. Now recordings are just too silent for which the
natural action is increasing volume. I have not got any messages
complaining that recording doesn't work after this change. So it's
certain that I will not return the default volume back to zero.
Changing default volumes can be easily done by putting mixer commands to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local or by writing a "soundon" script which loads the sound
module and sets mixer levels after that.
Best regards,
