Public bug reported: Users who have already upgraded to Oneiric might have problems with PulseAudio remembering volumes and other settings between upgrades.
After beta 1 (or should we request a beta freeze exception?) we plan to upgrade PulseAudio to fix this problem. However, that upgrade might again destroy stored volume and setting data. That version will, however, provide smooth transition for Natty upgraders. For an average user, this might require a look through of the tabs in gnome-volume-control to see that the right input and output devices and connectors are selected, and that the set volume is reasonable.
