pulseaudio log

Let's say I boot my system with my headphones plugged out, then the sound
normally comes out of speaker. If I plug headphone in, speaker get muted, which
is normal and what I want.

Now, let's say I boot my system with my headphones plugged in, then the sound
comes out of headphones, and speaker are muted.
The problem is that pulseaudio automatically unmutes speaker when it starts
(the volume stays at 0 though), and it shouldn't, considering headphones are
still plugged in. This leads to a second problem:
1) I plug out my headphones, they are muted, the speaker is still unmuted, but
the speaker volume stays at 0.
2) then, if I plug in headphones again, the speaker is muted and its volume is
still 0, as expected.
3) I plug out my headphones, they are muted, the speaker is unmuted and its
volume is set to 100.

This means that when I boot my system with headphones plugged in, if I want
sound from my speakers, I need to plug out/plug in/plug out headphones before
it works.


I can't find a solution for the problem I am having, I am not sure if there is
a pulseaudio setting that control this.
I have attached a pulseaudio log just after starting it (headphones were
plugged in)</pre>
