Bug#556948: Pulseaudio is recalculating the volume at the start of every track

[Dominique Brazziel]

Well, since pulseaudio was the component recalculating the volume for every track, and gnome-volume-control-applet seems to want to start pulseaudio even though I removed it from the startup applications, I'd say that was a big part of the problem.  

In any event, the only solution for me was to remove pulseaudio altogether,
remove gnome-volume-control-applet from startup and go back to mixer_applet2.
