test with totem

Description of problem:

I would expect to set the volume at a certain percentage and have each player play music at that volume.  In both cases, with totem and rhythmbox, pulseaudio will adjust the volume +12% just before playing the track, and re-adjust after the track finishes back to the original preset volume.  This holds true for multiple tracks in the same playlist.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[brent@osiris ~]$ rpm -qa | grep pulseaudio
wine-pulseaudio-1.1.18-1.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586

xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-3.fc11.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64
pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64


How reproducible:

Open music content with totem or rhythmbox

  
Actual results:

Volume changes during playback, then resumes original setting when completed.


Expected results:

Playback uses volume setting and does not change it.

I'm seeing the exact same issue.

We should add that Totem is actually controlling the *system* volume instead of just its volume. How is this possible? Isn't PulseAudio designed so that malicious apps can't hijack audio settings?
