Comment (by proyvind):
Isn't the purpose of a compatibility layer to be compatible?
PCM and Master channels are two different channels, both are present on
most (every?) systems. IMO It should be perfectly sane to change the
volume for PCM only and not all output channels (Master), ie. you might
want to turn the volume of PCM down while wanting the volume for playing
CD stay the same.
From my understanding what you're saying it's a bug to control more than
one channel, which I find it perfectly sane for alsa to do.
I don't see why it would be more confusing for PA to provide both PCM and
Master, not providing it seems more confusing while also breaking
compatibility. If one really doesn't want to provide both, one should at
least provide compatibility so that PCM == Master..
