Sure. As far as I understand Lenovo is not putting any kind of effort into
Linux support. It's hard to test without hardware.

Sure, I tried everything I could think of. In the process I found out that
I have to power off my machine. Otherwise the mic was not working sometimes
after just rebooting from a non working revision into a usually working one.

Indeed there are. Not to clutter up the mail I put this to the end of this message.

I don't have a docking station for my T400s. Sorry, cannot test that.

The headphone jack also has a mic in connector (TRRS connector). There the
mic works fine. That has nothing to do with the docking station though.
