Same here with xine-ui 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2
But I think I solved it!

Try to set "settings - audio - pulseaudio_device" to the string "pulseaudio" (the default name of local pulseaudio server)
and "settings - audio - volume.mixer_volume" to 100%
and "settings - audio - volume.remember_volume" to true.

If this really solves it for everybody, then this bug is just a bad default for an empty pulseaudio_device. Moreover the parameter name "remember_volume" is misleading and neither does act like its title declares (at least in the german translation): if "remember_volume" is false and xine starts then its volume is reset to the most recent "mixer_volume" that was saved together with "remember_volume" set to true - quite confusing!

So I think this IS a bug, but cause(s) and effect are a bit far apart. :-)
