 Hi,

 I've been having problems with pulseaudio and volume controls on my
 laptop. It seems other users are also affected. See this
 [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/97530 Ubuntu
 bug] (I'm a Mandriva dev but not filed a bug for this yet seeing as it's
 upstream!).

 When I use the volume up/down keys on my keyboard or on my laptop, Gnome
 usually controls the Master (this is configured in gnome-sound-
 properties). This works fine. When I run pulseaudio however, this changes
 and it now controls PCM rather than Master which has no real affect on the
 sound levels (or so it seems).

 I've patched pulseaudio ([source:trunk/src/modules/module-alsa-sink.c]) to
 use Master then PCM and all is well on my system.

 I'm guessing that this needs to be a configuration option.

 I'll attach my patch but more feedback on this "issue" would be
 appreciated.
