OK, this bug is still open, so I'll bite.
(1) Is the corresponding Ubuntu bug log (0090_fix_sw_mute_desync.patch) relevant? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/352732 (2) Output from pulseaudio -vvvv (after fresh boot & login from gdm) D: main.c: Started as real root: no, suid root: yes I: main.c: PolicyKit refuses acquire-high-priority privilege.
