Audacity input/output level sliders act independently of/incorrectly with system level sliders. #17

Symptoms:

 * Achieved recorded level only matches level indicated on the Recording VU
meter if the Audacity input slider is at 100%. (DB finds similar behaviour
on XP with Logitech USB microphone, but GA can't reproduce with USB
external sound cards).

 * (DB finds this only on Vista) Launch Audacity > Record > Stop > adjust
the system input level > Record again; or Launch > adjust system input
level > Record resets system level to that before the adjustment, unless
monitoring is on. Please test with both motherboard and external USB
devices. Adjusting system slider is necessary if it happens to be set above
clipping level because lowering the Audacity slider only scales down the
clipped signal instead of lowering the system slider. Especially confusing
for VI users.
