[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Lennart Poettering at 07/06/09 00:13 did gyre and gimble:
>>> You can also try hitting the mute button twice in pavucontrol to see if 
>>> it is another occurrence of the infamous "undetected mute on startup bug."
>> Aha! That got it. After that the state went to IDLE and now I can

>> to IDLE, then back to SUSPENDED when I close pavucontrol.
>>
>> So looks like this is the cause. Can I help with debugging?
