Microphone of Webcam Logitech 9000 Pro struggles

I got a Logitech 9000 Pro, its a pretty nice one and video works right out of the box.
The integrated microphone used to work properly aswell (I do not know when it stopped working, maybe when I switched to ArchLinux or did a kernel/pulseaudio update).
Properly in the respect of I have to deactive, reactivate it in the hardware-tab of the gnome3 (fallback) audio config tool to make it responsive at all

Can anyone confirm this issue and has a usefull fix?

$ lsusb |grep Webcam
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0809 Logitech, Inc. Webcam Pro 9000

the corresponding dmesg message

[   84.104661] set resolution quirk: cval->res = 384

[   84.119743] USB Video Class driver (v1.0.0)

EDIT:As long as some application uses the mic it keeps working, but as soon as none does, I have to do the "trick" again.

BUMP!

Just for reference:

$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 0.9.23

$ uname -a
Linux workbox 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 27 21:26:22 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I have this exact problem. Did you ever find a solution?
