Please allow me to reiterate that this symptom is not a PulseAudio bug
but a hardware one that can be worked around in the sound driver,
linux (with varying degrees of success for given hardware). The fact
that we have to work around it in PulseAudio (either by passing
ignore_dB=1 to module-udev* or by changing sections in the PA
profiles) is a clear indication of hardware failing to Do The Right
Thing.
