Huh, this actually helped a lot more than expected. Thanks!
I replaced pa_context_set_sink_input_volume with pa_context_set_sink_volume_by_index.

I'm still not sure (even by looking at the documentation) what the other one
does, or what the difference between both functions are. Is that just me,
because I'm a novice in this, or could the doc be improved a slight bit?

Again, thanks, cheers,
