Public bug reported:
If the directory /var/lib/lightdm/.config/pulse exists, then whenever
the screen goes blank, the sound volume changes, mutes, or takes on some
other random parameters specified by this file. It does not reset on
unlocking the screen. This is an extraordinarily dumb behaviour which
can be temporarily remedied by deleting that directory, or swapping out
lightdm for xscreensaver.
Please make sure that lightdm cannot write a pulse config file, or that
consolekit or whatever for pulseaudio does not use system users as
sources for parameters, and so forth.
