[Bug 498243] [NEW] pulseaudio volume control applet can't distinguish between multiple instances of the same device

[Joshua Turner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

When multiple instances of the same sound device are connected (in my
case, three identical Logitech USB audio dongles), gnome-volume-control
only shows the first device as selectable for either input or output via
PulseAudio.

This same bug existed in Jaunty's volume control applet, but was marked
WONTFIX since ALSA was being deprecated.

The only workaround I have is to bypass Pulse entirely and use command-
line ALSA tools.

I suspect this issue may run as deep as module-udev-detect, since
looking at the PulseAudio Manager shows only one module-alsa-card entry
for the given device type.

Also note that connecting multiple USB devices from different
manufacturers works fine -- the issue only manifests itself if the
devices connected are identical.
