                CC: lennart at poettering.net
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Low volume levels just cut off
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: andros at all-ein.net
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: misc
           Product: PulseAudio

If i have one stream at 100%, i have a volume level range from the master
volume from 100% t0 20%. Because PulseAudio sets Alsa Master Volume to 0% at
20%.

This gets worse if i set this one particular stream to ~3%, then i have an
range from 75% to 100% on the master volume. Because Pulse set Alsa master to
0% at 75%.

I consider this as a bug because, it is in impossible with this behavior to
control the volumes in low levels.

If you play just a little around with different stream volumes this can get
much worse. And you have set unexpected the cut to a different point. The cut
off point can so to speak unexpectedly jump from 20% to 75% an shrink your
volume range extremely!
