Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

ubuntu jaunty 9.04, 
updated from ubuntu intrepid 8.10,
newest updates,
pulseaudio 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20.1,
alsa-utils 1.0.18-1ubuntu11

In intrepid pulseaudio and alsa worked fine. Now they are broken.
There are several similar bug reports i read before. But this seems to be 
another problem.

After a clean restart (no suspend or hibernate) there are two possible
ways for pulseaudio and alsa, and the decision, which one is gone, seems
to be random:

* 1st way
One time playback of audio and video files works fine in vlc, totem, amarok, 
firefox flash addon.

* 2nd way
And the other time playback of audio files looks fine, but there is no sound. 
Perhaps it plays on a channel/card that's not existing. Perhaps something is 
muted. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding between pulseaudio, alsa and the 
soundcard. 

Notice: beep (via apt-get install beep) always works fine via soundcard
(not the system speaker).

I checked several mixers: gnome-volume-control, alsamixer. Everything is
unmuted and set to 100.

* Pulseaudio Mixer
Master => unmuted, 100

* Alsa Mixer (Intel)
Master, Master M, Headphon, PCM, Line, CD, Mic, Phone, IEC958 P, PC Speak, Aux 
=> unmuted, 100

* Oss Mixer
Speaker, PCM-2, In-gain, Digital-1 = unmuted, 100

What does't work
* "alsamixer -c 0" for setting the "front" volume to "100", because there is no 
"front"
* purging and reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio

It's driving me crazy. Rebooting 3 times for a working audio playback is
not what i wanted.


Here are my sound devices:

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 
82801DB-ICH4]

Thank you!
