Comment:

 With this fix in place, I see some difference in recording in Scratch just
 after starting the activity vs. after playing a sound first, then
 recording.
 If the recording is done right after the Activity starts, the mic light
 goes on after the red record button is pressed on the Recording block
 under the Sounds tab.
 If the recording is done after a sound has previously been played, the mic
 light goes on as soon as the "Record" button next to New Sound in the
 Sounds tab is pressed (without initiating actual recording with the red
 record button)

 I believe this problem needs to be addressed on the Scratch or Squeak
 library end, or the specific ALSA controls being used need to be sorted
 out in this sequence of events.
