Public bug reported:
I have been experiencing a pulseaudio bug for some time only just now
found the reproducer where after login the sound indicator shows a
speaker with dashes rather than the muted speaker or speaker with sound
waves. When in this state there is no sound and the sound indicator
doesn't work right: if you click the sound indicator, 'Mute' and the
volume slider are not present.
Steps to reproduce:
1. reboot the computer and login (sound correctly works)
2. find the PIDs of pulseaudio with 'ps auxww|grep pulse'
3. logout of your session
4. *quickly* log back in
At this point, sound probably doesn't work which is easily seen by
bserving the sound indicator. What I've noticed is that pulseaudio
doesn't seem to be shutting down fast enough after logout such that if
you logout and back in quickly, PIDs for pulseaudio for the user are the
same as in step '2' and pulseaudio doesn't work correctly. On the other
hand, if I wait a while (60 seconds?) before logging back in, the PIDs
are different than in step '2' and sound works correctly.
There are two workarounds:
1. kill pulseaudio manually before logging back in
2. wait 60 seconds or more before logging back in
