VLC and changing system volume

For some strange reason, when I'm playing something in VLC and I change my volume, it mutes VLC and/or pauses the playback.

For what reason might this be?

For those who want to know, I'm running GNOME 3.10.

I don't want to work.  I want to bang on the drum all day.

Bumping 'cus i'm having the same problem.
Also it mutes when using the laptop volume keys.

Same happens with totem player (that doesn't have a unmute button)

Re: VLC and changing system volume

Do you use pulseaudio? Is this file dependant? What command is being used when hardware volume keys are used? Is auto-mute enabled in alsamixer or any power save options?
