[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#525572: pulseaudio: volume muted after every boot

[Gregory Sharp]

OK, this bug is still open, so I'll bite.

(1) Is the corresponding Ubuntu bug log (0090_fix_sw_mute_desync.patch)
relevant?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/352732

(2) Output from pulseaudio -vvvv (after fresh boot & login from gdm)
