Bug#687887: Possibly due to flat-volumes

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674935 et al. describe
what happens due to flat-volumes = yes being the default.  I've just
experienced a similar problem with VLC in which I set the volume to 120%
for a specific media file.  This raised the sink volume permanently to
120%, thus causing other audio to clip until I manually undid this with
pacmd.  Fortunately I rely on the ALSA hardware volume for most of my
output limiting.

Thus I _suspect_ that this can be merged with #674935.  If the original
submitter is still listening: what happens if you add flat-volumes = no
to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf?
