I'm not really sure, isn't that either the socket or the service file should be enabled, not both? >> >> Do you have any idea what could be the problem with having the default >> sink muted always?

(On second thought, this sounds like a good idea anyway) Mhh, I don't have any service files like alsa*. Could it be because the $HOME of user pulse is /var/run/pulse which is emptied at each boot? I don't really think so, so only files there are a "native" socket file and "pid". In /var/lib/pulse/ are the state files: 0a95f82340cb4818a15b1fabc2ca2001-card-database.tdb 0a95f82340cb4818a15b1fabc2ca2001-default-sink 0a95f82340cb4818a15b1fabc2ca2001-default-source 0a95f82340cb4818a15b1fabc2ca2001-device-volumes.tdb 0a95f82340cb4818a15b1fabc2ca2001-stream-volumes.tdb Any more ideas?
