Be sure you are using pavucontrol and not a GNOME or KDE mixer as they
*look* like they are fully functional for pulse control but they
really aren't.

Start your app, run pavucontrol and set the input/output paths for it.

It should remember those settings after that.  I just spent days
driving myself crazy over this, not realizing that none of the mixers
for KDE or GNOME in Ubuntu 11.10 specifically are truly full featured
pulse controls.  They only look that way.

I hope this fixes it for you.
