Comment(by coling):
This relates to the flat volumes feature in PA. If you disable this
(daemon.conf) the issue will likely be avoided.
The problem comes mainly from the fact that adjusting mixer settings comes
with no timing information or guarantees. Thus when we change the volume
of the h/w back to it's "natural" level after a sound has finished
playing, we cannot know for certain that the operation will happen at the
exact moment the sound has actually finished. It is this lack of timing
information on mixer changes that ultimately causes this (I believe).
Details regarding this were asked on the alsa-devel mailing list not that
long ago, but nothing solid has come from that as of yet I believe.
