Yeah it's been fairly widely acknowledged that 8.04 had very poor 
pulseaudio integration.

TheMuso put a fair amount of effort into making sure this was addressed 
in 8.10 which is good.

Sadly pavucontrol is not installed by default it seems which is really 
shooting yourself in the foot considering that the benefits of 
pulseaudio are not realised unless you can control it in some way and 
pavucontrol is the best tool for this at the moment.
