I can understand some re-arrangement of the panel. e.g. CD is only on
capture, no playback, and I general listen and play CDs, not record
them.  But, yes, the microphone solely with a playback fader isn't
right.  I see this, now, but the package was updated 1 May 2007.

Another thing is that it's sometimes useful to have separate record and
playback level controls for the same device, but we don't have that
option.

This is the gnome-volume-control GUI, I presume you mean the Gnome one,
as well.

  rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control
  gnome-media-2.16.1-4.fc6

I notice that switching the device it's controlling from Alsa to OSS
changes where the microphone slider is displayed.  You can use something
else to control the sound, such as alsamixer (text interface).
