Just in case anyone else has a similar issue....
An annoying recent development was the ALSA input source not being restored on rebooting. In particular in my case the internal digital microphone on my Dell XPS m1330.
The audio chip is Intel-HDA, reported as "STAC9228" by alsamixer. The primary 'sound device' is alsamixer is listed as PulseAudio, with Intel HDA being an additional device (F6). Under the F4 capture tab, there are 3 input source options, the first kept on resetting to 'Mic' instead of 'Internal Mic 1'. Mic is the front analog mic jack, and as a result there was no Skype microphone functionality each reboot. Easy enough to use alsamixer to reset to the correct input when required of course, but annoying nonetheless.
I tried deleting asound.conf, ensuring alsa was (and wasn't) running as a daemon and using alsactl store, all to no avail. I already have !snd_pcm_oss and !snd-pcm-oss in my rc.conf, and Skype is not controlling any levels.
Finally solved by adding 'alsactl restore' to the startup programs (gnome-session-properties).

Sigh.
