[pulseaudio-discuss] Saving stream volumes per physical output

'Twas brillig, and Tanu Kaskinen at 05/01/10 05:29 did gyre and gimble:

by "<rolename>" I presume you mean the current stream restore format
which can include a role-based rule or an application-based rule...

The above format does not actually allow you to store volumes
per-application which would kinda suck.
