My goal is to be able to mute the Spotify application, not the entire system. Using the command: ps -C spotify -o pid= I am able to find the process ID of Spotify, in this case the ID is "22981". With that process ID I would like to search from this list: pacmd list-sink-inputs. That command returns a list like this:

Welcome to PulseAudio!
I have two boxes, an eeepc laptop with integrated sound and a desktop with onboard sound and usb e-mu 0202 and bluetooth headset which i plug in either of boxes. Both pulseaudio servers are told with paprefs to share their devices and discover others on the net.
I have an XBMCBuntu installation (based on Ubuntu 11.10), meaning that I don't have a graphical desktop environment installed.
I've connected a set of USB speakers, and for about a minute or two, running pacmd list-sinks yields only one sink: my laptop's onboard sound card.

I have exactly the same problem with my Acer Aspire 3820.

I am working on setting up an HTPC running Ubuntu 12.10. I have been searching for hours for a solution to get 5.1 surround sound working through HDMI, to no avail. I do not know a lot about audio standards or how they are managed in Linux.
I just installed 12.04 on an HP8510W. Everything works fine except for one weird behaviour which I have noticed. When ever there is no audio playing, the audio mute indicator on the laptop is on. As soon as I start playing a you tube video the mute indicator turns off and I get sound.
Here is my pulse audio output which says that the sink is suspended because it is idle:

Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue. I ended up installing alsa, alsa-oss, and pulseaudio-alsa, and then configuring them with an Alsa Mixer (in this case xfce4-mixer, but there are others) and Pulseaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol). In Pulseaudio Volume Control, I disabled 'HD-Audio Generic', as it is for the HDMI output of my graphics card, and set
