When I boot the system (Gentoo), "pacmd list-sinks" says:

Can you reproduce the bug with these steps:

1. Disable autospawning:
         echo "autospawn = no" >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf

2. Stop pulseaudio:
         killall pulseaudio

3. Start pulseaudio in a terminal with verbose logging:
         pulseaudio -vvv

4. Check the volume:
         pactl list sinks

If you can reproduce the bug (i.e. the volume reported by pactl is not
0.00 dB), could you attach the log output?

Yes, I can reproduce this. If I raise the volume to 0 db manually, then
exit PA with Ctrl+C and then run it again, the volume is again -0.01 dB.

I am attaching the output of "pulseaudio -vvv".

The wrong volume is coming from the module-device-restore database.
Setting the volume to 0 db manually should update the volume in the
database, but apparently it doesn't. This patch might fix the problem
(so this probably was a known bug after all):
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/src/pulsecore/sink.c?id=e0e6bf687573ea8ee3b6b53f8e44bcb30f4914ec

OK, applying this patch breaks the build:

./.libs/libpulsecore-5.0.so: undefined reference to `pa_device_port_find_best'

I suppose the patch is not intended to be applied against the 5.0 release.

However, since I now know that the bug was with saving the volumes, not with restoring them, I fixed this by simply "rm -r ~/.pulse". Now the volume is always 100% on startup.

Thanks for you help :-)
