Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I've noticed this happening sometime while using Hardy. Originally sound worked perfectly since I installed Hardy.
But now sometimes the problem seems to be that Pulseaudio selects the wrong Audiocontroller as default output (see alsa-info)

The hosts of the Linux Outlaws podcast, episode 51 "Too Young for Jail", mentioned that the developer of PulseAudio finds that Ubuntu's implementation of PulseAudio is messed up, giving users the impression that PulseAudio itself is to blame.
I do not know what kind of *enhancements* Ubuntu developers have put into the Ubuntu PulseAudio package, but it seems like worth re-cheking things in the original PulseAudio package.
