 When using pulseaudio ouput, mythtv passes "initial stream volume"
 parameter
 but never adjusts the "stream volume" anymore and touches "master volume".

 This results in weird and annoying behavior:
 Last playback affects next playback's real volume.

 Example:
 I play a recording.. it ends at 10% of volume.
 mythtv remembers that value.
 I start a recording..  mythtv sets the master volume to 10%  AND  initial
 stream volume to 10%  (never changing when pressing F10/F11)
 This results in state, when 100% volume in mythtv means 10% in reality.

 I have discussed this issue with pulseaudio devs..  quote: "the volume
 parameter should be NULL unless you really know what are you doing and not
 just think you know"

 one-line patch attached

 Thanks for allowing anonymous bug reports...  You can ping me on #mythtv-
