Hi!

I am trying pipewire and I found out that it does not remembers the
volume settings from session to session. This is totally annoying in one
of my setups on which I have two microphones: webcam and the audio
card's mic in.

By default it will use both microphones (I normally keep my webcam's one
muted) and even worst, it puts the audio card's mic in to 100%, which is
simply TOO noisy.

For what I could see on the web this is a general issue on most distros,
but I'll consider this one a blocker for replacing pulseaudio with
pipewire, as this is very basic functionality, and vey annoying.

And yes, I'll be happy to be proven wrong :-D (like: use this other app
instead of pulseaudio-qt in order to manage volume levels).

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
