When a new audio device appears, it won't be muted, and this breaks the global mute state by unmuting it. 2. With PulseAudio's RAOP module, transient AirPlay or other RAOP-compatible devices will be randomly appearing and disappearing on the network all the time. 3. The combination of these two means that when one such device comes online, it terminates the global mute, triggering the bug. Armed with this information I can trivially reproduce the issue by connecting a local audio device while the system is muted; after connection, it instantly un-mutes. So it's not RAOP-specific. I think we need to make mute be a persistent thing, and not get turned off when a new unmuted audio device appears -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
