Hmm, interesting idea, but the situation I was previously in pertained 
over a period since Stretch became Stable until shortly before my 
original mail in this thread (sometime in February if I recall 
correctly). Over, naturally, multiple reboots.

For that period, I had to use sudo when issuing the pactl command (in 
Jessie and previously, the pactl command wasn't necessary at all).

So I guess I could have had some sort of configuration which repeatedly 
put me in that situation on every reboot, and the update that "created 
the problem" actually fixed whatever *that* problem was... otherwise, no 
I don't think so.

Thanks for the suggestion though

Mark
