poor pulse alsa-lib plugin interaction with default server,sink,source settings

[SoloTurn]

after a while (a few hours) it seems to loose its default setting (see attached sreenshot) for the default server, default sink and default source.

1. pulse-audio was konfigured and working.
2. i used youtube in firefox with the flash plugin.
3. soundrecorder: does not work any more
4. start pule audio devide chooser, set the default server,
    the default sink and default source from
    nothing is checked back to "default"
5. it works again.

intrepid.

Is this symptom reproducible if you use another native ALSA application routed through PulseAudio?

[SoloTurn (soloturn)]

loosing the sound at some point happens while using skype as well, but unfortunately i did not track it down where it came from. it was gone after the next reboot.

will have a closer look though next time it happens.

This bug was fixed in the package pulseaudio - 0.9.14-0ubuntu6

---------------
pulseaudio (0.9.14-0ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low

  * 0004_disable_autospawn.patch: Disable this patch. Doing so
    allows the daemon to spawn if not already running, which
    works around LP: #191027, #204272
  * 0012_clarify_driver_error_redirect_to_alsa_devs.patch:
    - Only log POLL* being set if tsched is used so that syslog
      isn't filled with innocuous messages when we set tsched=0
      (see 0030 below) (LP: #323712),
    - Hint 'linux' source package instead of 'alsa-driver' for
      Launchpad bug reports,
    - The debug-specific portion is only applicable to 0.9.14;
      0.9.15 enables a rate limiting module by default to work
      around this (and other) issues
  * 0029_fix_suspend_on_idle_null_race.patch: Handle sink case,
    too
  * 0030_set_tsched0.patch: Work around a shedload of (driver)
    bugs by falling back to interrupt-based buffer semantics
    (LP: #190754, #292880, #295519, #298494, #301755, #302964,
     LP: #319118, #323976, #324103, #326205, #326864)

    - 0034_bt_fixes.patch
  * Make invoking the stop target in the initscript not fail an
    upgrade (LP: #317921)
  * Previous upload (0.9.14-0ubuntu3) fixed LP: #321357
  * 01PulseAudio: use sudo -H to ensure that $HOME is, in fact,
    the user's when invoking pacmd for suspend/resume
