I agree that pavucontrol is really more of a playground app rather than
a the "offical" Gnome or KDE version of the same tool.

In KDE the functionality is accessed via System Settings -> Sound
although it works slightly differently to the Gnome system in that it
does not give a UI to move individual streams, only categories of
streams (e.g. Music, Video, Games etc.)


Anyway, I'm happy to help make pavucontrol more accessible - If you have
suggestions (or better, patches!) then I'll certainly listen and try and
incorporate what you suggest.
