Title:
  Changing the audio output in VLC makes the audio unaccessible via the
  Unity app menu volume --Precise

Status in PulseAudio sound server:
  New
Status in “vlc” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Problem:
  Changing the audio output in VLC makes the audio unaccessible via the Unity app menu volume

  Or to put it another way, I can't control the audio using the app menu
  after changing the selected output sound device from the VLC app menu.

  Circumstances under which the bug manifests:
  I use two sound cards, the internal and an external USB iMic. I've noticed the the problem when going from the internal sound card to the iMic.

  Work around:
  1. Open the audio from the preference pane, 
  2. select the appropriate output and 
  3. adjust volume sliding knob therein.

  
  Additional info:
  I'm running an upgraded Precise install.

  Running the following commands lists the results thereafter, with the iMic unplugged.
  dmesg | grep sound
  HDA Intel SPDIF

  lspci | grep -i audio
  Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
