[pulseaudio-discuss] Unable to attach to mixer hw:2, 1, 0: No such file or directory

verbose log of the first start right after system restart where Mic was
initially selected but didn't work, and started working after switching to
Line and back: http://pastebin.com/fr0cTUu3

These messages can be avoided by not try pcm name first in alsa-util.c

Do those IO/EXT plugin expose ctl device as pcm name ?

    if ((err = snd_mixer_open(&m, 0)) < 0) {
        pa_log("Error opening mixer: %s", pa_alsa_strerror(err));
        return NULL;
    }

    /* First, try by name */
+/*
    if ((dev = snd_pcm_name(pcm)))
        if (prepare_mixer(m, dev) >= 0) {
            if (ctl_device)
                *ctl_device = pa_xstrdup(dev);

            return m;
        }
+*/
    /* Then, try by card index */
    if (snd_pcm_info(pcm, info) >= 0) {
        char *md;
        int card_idx;

        if ((card_idx = snd_pcm_info_get_card(info)) >= 0) {

            md = pa_sprintf_malloc("hw:%i", card_idx);

You can try comiling and  running pulseaudio from git without installing
