Comment 60 for bug 204536

Failing to save and load user data as expected (in this case, data about volume preference) is absolutely unacceptable. It makes the computer feel unreliable, gives inexperienced or insecure users the idea that they are doing something wrong, and ruins the auditory experience that a user wishes to maintain in their living space or workspace.

Given that this bug still clearly persists in default Ubuntu installations, can we change the status away from "fix released", or identify a new target project?
