#241: Pulse Audio Doesn't Remember Preferred Output Device

 I have 2 audio devices: motherboard VIA 82XX and PCI Creative SBLive!. The
 VIA device is disabled in BIOS and speakers are hooked to the SB-Live!.

 The first oddity is the Pulse still registers the VIA output device even
 though it's disabled in the BIOS. Secondly, Pulse doesn't seem to remember
 that I've set the SBLive! as the default output device across reboots.

 To circumvent this behavior, when ever I install a new FC8 kernel, I
 rename the VIA-82XX.ko driver so that the kernel doesn't load it and Pulse
 doesn't see it.

 I assume the problem with the module being loaded even though the device
 is disabled is a kernel or module loading problem. However, Pulse should
 remember my default output device across reboots . I think it may actually
 change my default across logins.

 I've listed my current levels below, but I've seen this problem across all
 kernels and levels of Pulse since installing FC8.

 THanks!
