I reassign this bug to gnome-media. To gnome-media maintainer : when gnome-volume-control-applet is launched on session start, my main volume channel is muted and its level set at 0%. It does not happen when using "pure" esound (ie. removing pulseaudio packages, which results in not starting the applet). It also does not happen if I remove calls to mute_and_zero_levels() in alsa-utils init script (which made me think the issue was in alsa-utils). It happens to different users (if you read French, see discussion on [email protected] at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/2009/08/msg00707.html) I wasn't sure if this bug should be re-assigned to pulseaudio or not, but as I think the issue is with gnome-volume-control-applet, you might be the best person to help me understand the issue).
