Description
I'll describe this as a scenario--that's probably easiest:
1) Surf to http://hyper-metrix.com/misc/jai/ with FF 3.5 to try out <audio> hotness.
2) LOUD BOOM out of my speakers. Turn voume down via keyboard shortcuts that execute "amixer set Master 2%-", where I'm using the Pulseaudio ALSA control plugin. Ie., this is what's in my .asoundrc:
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
3) Track finishes playing, next track starts, with volume back to "LOUD BOOM".
4) Adjust volume using pavucontrol.
5) Now volume magically stays the same across track change.
Expected Result: No loud boom in step 3. Volume stays the same across track change, like with pavucontrol.
Obtained result: LOUD BOOM. :) The likelihood of this seems to increase with the lateness of the night.
I should also mention that I've seen situations that the volume indicated by amixer goes up to values greater than 100%. :)
Debian bug template for pulseaudio attached.
