Title:
  pulse audio remembers muted applications without notification

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pulseaudio

  pulseaudio remembers which applications were muted last time. so i
  muted skype via pulseaudio in sound preferences -> applications awhile
  back and skype output audio "hasn't worked" since.

  it took me a while to realize that skype was muted. this was
  compounded by the fact that skype doesn't show up in the applications
  list when it is not actively trying to make a sound, so i couldn't
  tell that skype was muted without making a call.

  i think this is a usability problem - it would be nice if pa used the
  notification system to alert the user when an app starts that it will
  run muted...
