 Problem seen on Ubuntu Karmic with PulseAudio 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4. I
 reported this problem to Launchpad then to Gnome, and I was told it was an
 upstream issue with PulseAudio and module-device-restore :

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/498550

 Here's how to reproduce the problem:

  1. Connect an USB audio device (for instance, an USB headset)
  2. Open gnome-volume-control
  3. Change volumes for microphone input & speaker
  4. Disconnect device
  5. Reconnect device

 Expected results : the volume for both speaker and microphone should be
 restored as before disconnection

 Actual results : the volume is restored to a predefined setting
 (determined at computer shut-down)

 Impact : before using Skype, for instance, one must always adjust volume
 settings before making a call

 I hope it is not just a simple configuration problem, but if it so, I will
 gladly report the problem back to Launchpad so that proper changes can be
 done on Ubuntu.

 I am available to provide any additional information to debug this
 problem.
