lsmod output

Description of problem:
When playing multimedia, that includes audio, using mplayer,
the audio jumps to 100% volume at start

Ran a full yum update yesterday that included:
 pulseaudio.x86_64 0:0.9.21-4.fc12
(previous version was pulseaudio-0.9.19-2.fc12.x86_64)

This didn't happen before the update
(mplayer has not been updated)

However, 'play' does not exhibit this problem

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0:0.9.21-4.fc12

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set volume using Gnome audio output slider to approx 50%
2. Start playing any file containing audio with mplayer from within Gnome terminal

  
Actual results:
Volume jumps to 100% at start (slider also moves to 100%)

Expected results:
Volume should stay where it is (like it did before I ran a yum update)

Additional info:
Of course I am unsure which part of the sound system is causing the problem since I am only accessing it via the Gnome GUI and Gnome terminal

pulseaudio is just an assumption by me

FYI: mplayer-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12.x86_64

mplayer has been overriding the volume on each new stream. This has been fixed a while back in mplayer. Make sure to update your version.
