This is pretty frustrating because pulseaudio is the standard soundsystem of most distros nowadays and the only real workaround is to remove it and use plain alsa.

If you feel adventurous enough to install pulseaudio from source, here are steps for installing the current git version: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio cd pulseaudio ./bootstrap.sh make sudo make install sudo ldconfig The bootstrap.sh script will probably give you all kinds of errors, if you don't have the development tools and the headers of various dependecy libraries already installed. I think debian has some tool for installing the build

Thanks Raymond for the info. I would like to get this bug ironed out in Pulseaudio not only locally. Can we go on with triaging? Right the the bug is New.

the answer was aleady stated in the patch
you need to change alsa-mixer.h
