Hello, I'm experiencing the same bug in Ubuntu 11.04. Everything worked well with the version of pulseaudio that shipped with beta 2 until the recent update (version: 1:0.9.22+stable-queue-24-g67d18-0ubuntu3). After booting or killing pulseaudio with the pulseaudio -k command the volume is at the highest level. If I click the gnome panel's volume slider, it is back at normal.
Note that I had to change in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths /analog-input.conf the volume of the PCM element from merge to ignore to avoid distorted output. This was already necessary for me back in Lucid. Another thing I noticed: Before the bug the volume was loud enough for me right near the slider's lowest end, now I need to set it at around 30% (once the volume is at normal).
