Bug#649568: pulseaudio: increasing volume manages all knobs causing a noise

[markO p.]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 1.0-4
Severity: normal

single system volume konb makes pulseaudio to manage all three soundcard's volume
konbs (maser, pcm, front). making system volume to max, makes master, pcm, front
also to max. it results in overvoluming the sound and the sound card produces
a noise to my amplifier.

before, when i was using alsa, system volume knob managed soundcard's master
knob only, so i could set pcm knob to 70% of the power what let me help to
avoid noise.
