This is true even for root. Anyway, I think I figured out the problem. When module-device-restore is loaded, it doesn't touch the settings of already-existing sinks, so it has to be loaded before module-udev-detect. In system.pa we load the modules in the wrong order. It's weird that this has gone unnoticed for so long... Switch the module loading order in system.pa, and things should start working. -- Tanu
