Peace. Anyone who cares about a bug can update it and stop it from
expiring.
Unfortunately the Ubuntu and Pulse bug backlogs are so massive that we
can't dive into every bug in detail. Automated rules for letting
untouched bugs expire need to be used.
In more than 99% of cases old bugs like this are abandoned and nobody
answers them. So I thank you for caring about the quality of Ubuntu.

Title:
X login screen volume always set to max; crazy loud
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm
Whenever I boot my laptop from scratch (i.e. not resuming from
standy/hibernate), the X/gdm login screen will play a sound effect
when it's ready for me to log in.
The problem is, this sound effect is always played at the hardware's
maximum volume setting (or at least, something insanely loud) which is
extremely annoying for other people nearby (and me!)
gdm/something should set the volume to some sane level prior to
playing this sound. Even better if "gdmsetup" were to allow
configuration of the volume.
Note, I'm aware of some WARs:
* Disable the login sound. Not acceptable: Simply disabling the feature
because it's buggy doesn't actually fix the underlying bug.
* Plug in headphones, or a dummy jack. Not acceptable: I don't use headphones
and hence don't carry them around. I don't want some dummy jack plugged into
the side of my laptop, thus changing the laptop's shape (and, I'd have to
unplug it after login to use sound)
* Various script hacks with "alsactl save/restore". Not acceptable: This
feature should "just work" out of the box without my Grandma having to hack at
arcane scripts or config files.
Note: This issue is visible in Jaunty Jackalope i386 (and presumably
all arch's) on either the live CD or an HD-based installation. Note
that to fix this on the live CD, a gdmsetup-based volume configuration
option wouldn't be useful, because a) it wouldn't solve the issue for
the first boot, and b) there's nowhere to store the configuration
across reboots (or if there is, it's sufficiently complex that my
Grandma couldn't use it)
