[touch] Sound menu settings are overridden on second call

[Omer Akram]

The volume settings in the sound menu do not work reliably, if you mute the system sound from there and make a phone call to that phone, the phone will indeed be muted as expected BUT when there is another attempt made to call that phone all the volume settings are overridden and the ringtone plays in the max volume.

1. Open Sound menu and mute
2. make a missed call from another phone to Ubuntu phone
3. Try another missed call.

What happens:
Mute only works for the first time, on the second attempt the ringtone rings as usual

What should happen:
Mute should really mute no matter what.

It's unlikely that the volume is reset by the sound menu. I can't check what is doing it myself right now, as I don't have a sim card in my device. So could you please:

1. turn on debugging for pulse-audio by adding the line "log-level = debug" to ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf
2. restart pulseaudio: kill the process and execute `pulseaudio --start`
3. call yourself twice
4. check in /var/log/syslog for lines "[...] Client $CLIENT changes volume of sink [...]", where $CLIENT is either indicator-sound-service or something else

Thanks.

I have attached the syslog. One thing to note is that once pulseaudio is restarted the sound menu does not have any control over any sound related activity. i.e. volume slider does not work, neither does the mute.

This is probably one for pitti, who can use dbus mock to fake the phone calls.

Omer, is this still an issue in the newer builds?
