Firstly, thank you for your time and help.

I have discovered the bug preventing me using the external mic socket
before: in the mixer, the user has to select the [internal] mic input,
then re-select the line-in (actually external mic) input; reading from
(eg) /dev/dsp while changing this, the output suddenly is as expected
when the line-in is re-selected.

Since we've got started, where should I look for the 'before' and
'after' state to compare to see into this?

This behaviour is reproducible with both 2.6.20 and 2.6.22-rc7.

Many thanks!
  Daniel
