pulseaudio does not remember channel volumes after reboot

[Jeffrey Finkelstein]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

What I expect to happen:

Volume levels of channels "Master", "Master Mono", "Headphones", "PCM" are stored at shutdown and restored when restarted.

What happens instead:

Volume levels are reset to Master=56, Master Mono=0 (and muted), Headphones=100, and PCM=56 on every restart. Possibly other settings are reset as well, but these are the only ones I use.

I have tried the proposed workaround in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=556971#27 but it does not work.

I cannot try the proposed workaround in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=556971#12 because /etc/init.d/alsa-utils does not exist on my system.
