It gets even worse that that. ALSA also doesn't map to PulseAudio 1/1.
Now you have ALSA volume != PulseAudio volume !=Apps Volume. Kinda
defeats the whole purpose of flat volumes, if every slider uses a wildly
different scale.

You don't have to edit system-wide config for that.
~user/.pulse/daemon.conf is enough.

Or you could just run "pulseaudio --kill" and "pulseaudio
--daemon" (both without root privilages) in terminal.
Thanks for sharing the tip. I just hope this stuff gets fixed soon.
