regression: "pacmd dump" reports incorrect status for muted microphone

[Mikko Rantalainen]

pacmd dump | grep mute

The "set-source-mute" for my mic should say "no" when my mic is not muted but it always says "yes" nowadays. This used to work earlier.

Broken version:
$ apt policy pulseaudio-utils
pulseaudio-utils:
  Installed: 1:15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1
  Candidate: 1:15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1

I'm pretty sure at least version 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.11 used to work correctly.
