Because: 1) this ticket is still open in Trac 2) this issue is still present in pulseaudio-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686 3) I've added link, so people searching about this problem could found ticket I don't see what saving/restoring has to do with restoring. For me, it is about temporary raising global volume without rescaling samples already in buffer. So, when I have Totem playing at -10dB and it fills the buffer. Suddenly, event sound with volume -7dB comes. For the duration of event global volume is bumped to -7dB and buffer filled by Totem is played two times louder than intended. I stumble into it almost every day ? I have event sound enabled and set significantly louder than music and movie streams volume. Everytime I click a button having something played in background, I get temporary loudness bump. -- Tomasz Torcz RIP is irrevelant.
