#586: Volume adjusting via Alsa mixer does weird things
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
I'll describe this as a scenario--that's probably easiest:
1) Surf to http://hyper-metrix.com/misc/jai/ with FF 3.5 to try out
<audio> hotness.
2) LOUD BOOM out of my speakers. Turn voume down via keyboard shortcuts
that execute "amixer set Master 2%-", where I'm using the Pulseaudio ALSA
control plugin. Ie., this is what's in my `.asoundrc`:
{{{
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
}}}
3) Track finishes playing, next track starts, with volume back to "LOUD
BOOM".
4) Adjust volume using pavucontrol.
5) Now volume magically stays the same across track change.
''Expected Result:'' No loud boom in step 3. Volume stays the same across
track change, like with pavucontrol.
''Obtained result:'' LOUD BOOM. :) The likelihood of this seems to
increase with the lateness of the night.
I should also mention that I've seen situations that the volume indicated
by amixer goes up to values greater than 100%. :)
Debian bug template for pulseaudio attached.
