sorry, I was too hasty and got stuck to wrong lines while looking the
code. The original patch was indeed patching the mic volume, not
capture volume above. The original patch:

-AC97_SINGLE("Mic Playback Volume", AC97_MIC, 0, 15, 1),
+AC97_SINGLE("Mic Playback Volume", AC97_MIC, 0, 31, 1),

You are right, it's 1c, like seen from the diffs I sent. Sorry for the
confusion.  Is there anything you would suggest for me  to do anymore,
other than buying better HW and to shut up ;) ? I compiled the kernel
again with snd debug option, and was able to write the regs via
proc...
