I came across the same problem yesterday, I even blogged about it [1],
because it seems so weird. The way I "fixed" it was to keep the Sound
Preferences window open while using Mumble. I'd file a bug if I had an
idea which component I should file the bug against. Mumble? Pulseaudio?
Something else?

I'm using Pulseaudio too and I wouldn't want to remove it for two
reasons: I've kind of learned to like the volume control magic it does
and removing Pulseaudio on Fedora 11 would remove gnome-bluetooth, which
is useful when sending files to my mobile phone.
