Maybe I misunderstood that (and I have never used Vista so I don't know
how the 'original' works), but it does seem to behave slightly different
than explained bellow:
'Upcoming PA versions support "flat volumes" (and we enable this by
default). That will basically collapse the stream volume and device
volume into one (only supported for volume controls with dB info). This
follows what Vista does: the device volume is always the maximum volume
of all streams playing on it.'
Mimicking Vista? Ewww. "Flat volume" is one of the more sucky features
of Vista's mixer. One more reason to keep my machines pulseaudio-free.
