Title:
  Input device is not saved

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pulseaudio

  Symptoms: In Sound Preferences -> Input I see "Internal Audio Analog
  Stereo" and "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono". Only the QuickCam
  captures input from an actual microphone, so I would like to use it,
  and it only. However, every time I reboot Pulseaudio somehow decides
  to use the "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" instead of my selected
  default.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Select "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono" as the device for sound input in the Sound Preferences window.
  2. Reboot and log in again

  What happens: "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" is selected as the
  Pulseaudio sound input device.

  What should happen: "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono" should still be
  selected as the Pulseaudio sound input device.

  100% reproducible.

  Possible cause: Could it be that Pulseaudio starts before the webcam
  is initialized, so it shifts to "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" as a
  fallback on startup?

  Workaround: Select "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono" as the device for
  sound input in the Sound Preferences window after every reboot.

  Simple fix: Some way to disable the selection of individual devices,
  so they will not be used.

  Good fix: Save the selected device, and select that if it ever becomes
  available during a GNOME session.

  Better fix: Mix all input sources, and allow the user to disable those
  they don't want to capture from.

  Additional tweak: Monitor all input devices, and if there is a
  "better" input source, suggest to the user to change to it. "Better"
  could for example mean that it captures more input of a moderate
  level, such as 5-95%.
