The volume notification pops out on its own and the slider keeps on moving up and down. It sometimes doesn't happen for an hour or two and then starts happening every 30 or 40 seconds. The only way to stop it is to click on the sound indicator and open the sound parameters. Then the slider stops and the notification frame ends up having a normal behavior, gets blurry and disappears after few seconds. The bug appears only on its own : it doesn't behave this way when I myself change the volume with the hotkeys or by clicking. This bug is very similar to the bug #1585084 that would appear on ubuntu 16.04 and was supposingly fixed release (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1585084), except that this is happening on ubuntu 17.04. I tried uninstalling pulseaudio and working only with alsa/qasmixer, and the bug stopped appearing (but qasmixer isn't as comfortable as the embedded pulseaudio indicator). I tried defining the attribute "autospawn" to "no" in the client.config and the daemon.config pulseaudio configuration files. The bug stopped appearing for a while and then came back. It seems more frequent when "autospawn" is set to "yes" though. I tried killing pulseaudio, including at the start of ubuntu, and it doesn't work out : pulseaudio keep on starting and the bug keeps on appearing.
