Sorry, somehow I missed this link.

It seems, there's really some problem on PA shutdown (near the end of the log):
http://paste.ubuntu.com/344935/

D: alsa-sink.c: Read hardware volume: 0: 8% 1: 8%
D: core-subscribe.c: Dropped redundant event due to change event.
D: alsa-sink.c: Read hardware volume: 0: 1% 1: 1%
D: core-subscribe.c: Dropped redundant event due to change event.
I: module-device-restore.c: Storing volume/mute/port for device
sink:alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.
I: main.c: Got signal SIGTERM.
I: main.c: Exiting.
...

So, basically something resets hardware volume to 1% during system
shutdown. Though, the volume was read correctly as 53% on PA start
(line 870).

Here's also paste from alsa-info.sh: http://pastebin.ca/1724126
It might be not very useful as the problem is happening on shutdown
and I ran it just from XFCE session.
