Patch

PulseAudio enables module-device-restore and module-card-restore, which load
and store device and card volume settings, by default. On FreeBSD, this
functionality is already handled by rc.d/mixer. Further, if PulseAudio is n=
ot
enabled on a system-wide basis, PulseAudio restores its own mixer settings =
when
an application needs it.

As a result, module-device-restore and module-card-restore cause a jarring
experience on FreeBSD. For example, playing a video in Firefox sometimes ca=
uses
the mixer volume to change suddenly as PulseAudio loads what it thinks were=
 the
previous mixer settings.

This patch changes the example default.pa to not load these modules by defa=
ult.
This has no affect on systems with PulseAudio already installed and configu=
red.
