SOLUTION (for the lazy readers): Use OSS instead of ALSA
My new Toshiba Satellite is amazing and everything worked right out of the box, except the external microphone.

Thanks.

I simply got my Toshiba L300 mic working by running "alsamixer" and unmuting the microphone channel, which is often muted by default. Other wise read the above...

My microphone channel is also muted by default. Unfortunately, unmuting it doesn't help. It doesn't seem that ALSA is seeing the microphone at all:
The wiki tips did not help either.
arecord -L doesn't show the microphone either:

Conexant codecs tend to have issues with microphones in ALSA.
You may want to try OSS, instead.

Yes, OSS worked!
Thanks a lot.
