While this is a good work around for now, we really need a way to know 
that the event from that "keyboard" is hardcoded to control that "sink".

While using e.g. my keyboard or laptops's built in vol keys, I expect it 
to control the "default" device as per above, but when I press the 
buttons on the USB headset, I expect it control just that headset.

So we need some way to tie this together - although I'm pretty sure that 
fix will not be in pulseaudio itself.
