[Bug 535529] [NEW] [SB Audigy 2 ZS] Invalid dB data, and recognized as SB Audigy 1

I'm experiencing issues with pulseaudio whereby randomly the volume
swells up and down. I think this has something to with pulseaudio trying
to normalize the volume in real time and getting it wrong.

On karmic I removed pulseaudio and it solved my problems. I have now
upgraded to (with a clean install) lucid alpha-1 and I would like to
keep pulseaudio but I can't abide this volume swelling issue.

My question is whether my assumption about the normalization is correct
and how I can turn it off or improve the way it works.

I hear this problem whilst playing mp3s, watching videos and playing
flash content. I can't use pulseaudio on QuakeLive either without the
game performance taking a massive hit.

My system set up is AMD64 lucid alpha-1, SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS.
