This is an artifact of the way gstreamer is designed. We should fix it,
but I'll be honest and tell you that this is pretty far down my priority
queue.
(Essentially, the "mute" button is fabricated internally by GStreamer,
and sets the volume to zero. It is supposed to retain the previous
setting so when you unmute it works, but this gets foiled when you have
multiple apps in use, or you quit and restart the volume control app.)
