Alsa softvol wiki : recording bug

I used the softvol entry in the wiki to resolve my low volume bug on my laptop. However after using the provided configuration, the mic was not working anymore.

I had to change it to the following to make it work :

pcm.!default {
      type asym
      playback.pcm
      {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "softvol"
      }
      capture.pcm
      {
        type plug
          slave {
            pcm {
              type hw
              card 0
              device 0
            }
          }
      }
}

  pcm.softvol {
      type softvol
      slave {
          pcm "dmix"
      }
      control {
          name "Pre-Amp"
          card 0
      }
      min_dB -5.0
      max_dB 20.0
      resolution 6
  }

Am i doing this right ? in that case is this wiki worthy ?
