Comment:

 This is not really surprising. -15db at the stream level and (possibly)
 -15dB at the device level add up to -30dB (multiplying linear factors
 equals adding logarithmic factors) That relates to a linear factor of
 about .0009. At 16 bit samples this decreases the sample range to about <
 64 levels.

 Also note that PA 0.9.10 considered <= -30dB equal to -inf dB. In newer
 version this has been moved to -60 dB.

 the link you posted doesn't work.
