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.
