This isn't a solution to the Mini 10v sound chip set driver dilemma, but it is a workaround that solves the problem for now. I have a Griffin iMic that has been in a box just collecting dust for quite some time. I bought several years ago at a MacWorld on the convention floor when they were being introduced and iBooks and PowerBook G4s didn't come with desirable audio in ports, if they had them at all. Some Macintosh models didn't even have audio in ports at all.
Well, I came across this the other day and thought I would try it since OS X has never needed drivers for the iMIc. I plugged it i to my Mini 10v and it was instantly recognized and the selected audio ports automatically switched over to the iMic for both audio in and out. So, for now, I have a solution to be able to use iChat with a headset or to plug a microphone into it and use it with Photo Booth to do some simple video recording.
I have a Blue Snow Ball microphone, but I haven't had much success getting that to work universally with my desktop Mac Mini, so I haven't tried with the Mini 9 or 10v. That will be a future test.
