Well, I hope it was worth trying (and I assume you got a digital mic). I've successfully used this approach with Dell Latitudes E4300 and E6400.
P.S.: Just if you want to try - I've installed alsa 1.0.22 from https://launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/experimental. It is packaged for Lucid but works well with my Karmic with a 2.6.32 kernel. But I always make a backup of the partition before starting this type of experiments ...
