In my simple mind, this statement implies it's a PulseAudio bug.

This comment on the same bug in fedora contains a workaround:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499435#c29

I use this workaround because I have no time to fix either PulseAudio
(which could probably work around the issue itself) or ALSA.  I do
wish someone would fix it properly (whatever that means).  Until then
I have to keep patching that conf file every time alsa updates.
