[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#556971: #556971: pulseaudio does not remember volume settings, always set to 0

[Ludovico Cavedon]

Hi,
I found the cause of the issue. This is what happens of first boot/login
(i.e., when there is no ~/.pulse directory).

* boot:
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils start # set volume to default levels
* login:
pulseaudio --start # keep current volume (no saved one available)
* logout:
#pulseaudio keeps running!!
* reboot
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop # save current volume and mute mixer
kill pulseudio # save current volume (oops, mixer is mute!)


Second boot/login:
* boot:
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils start # set volume to saved one (good!)
* login:
pulseaudio --start # restore volume to saved one (oops, muted!)

Note that alsa and pulseaudio store volume separately.

I am attaching an easy proof-of-concept fix: prevent alsa-utils from
zeroing the mixer. It work for me.

But I would not blame alsa for doing that. I'd rather think that we
should ensure that pulseaudio gets stopped before alsa-utils stop is
called or when the user is logged out.

Thanks,
Ludovico
