input from usb sound card is no longer selectable in gnome-volume-control

[Pedro Côrte-Real]

Binary package hint: gnome-media

I've updated to lucid and it is no longer possible to select my usb camera as input in gnome-volume-control. The two cards still show up in the hardware tab so the driver seems to still be working.

Deleting ~/.pulse and ~/.pulse-cookie and restarting seems to have solved this. There was another bug where this was the case. Seems like an upgrade problem then.

This problem still occurs after a suspend although not every time. Doing a "killall pulseaudio" causes pulseaudio to restart and fixes it. I'd guess the bug is actually in pulseaudio.

I suspect the suspend restore of the input device is the same thing as bug 686172, which likely doesn't only affect remote devices. Pedro, I think you should subscribe to that bug for the suspend/restore issue (and yes, it's most likely in pulseaudio).

As for the upgrade issue I think this will need some testing to reproduce, and verification at the pulseaudio level if we actually need to keep these files through an upgrade, or migrate them to a new format, or just get rid of them...

Reassigning this bug to 'pulseaudio', since that's where these two files come from.

That version is no more supported
