Ya that too. I had not thought of the possibility that pulse clients might
be a part of this... but aside from tweaking more than one control on the
alsa side, pulse also has a gain stage of it's own. Pulse's levels can be
changed by the client program which may not seem like a big deal... except
for programs like Skype that use these levels for AGC rather than their
own gain stage. This means the pulse level while using such a program may
change on it's own depending on room noise for echo/feedback cancelation.
