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?
