[pulseaudio-discuss] Per-app flat volume adjustment is highly unintuitive, if mathematically consistent.

Actually, wait.  There is one last thing that might clue me in.

Let's say I have, relative to each other, Firefox/youTube set to 100%
and Banshee set to 80%.

Now, imagine I'm listening to Banshee and my volume is 100%.  Does
flat volume mean that if I start to play a Firefox video...that
Firefox will be at 100% and that Pulse will intelligently drop Banshee
to 80%?

In essence...applying my per-app ratios automatically on the fly,
whenever something comes up?  I'll be honest, I didn't really think of
it like -that-.  That sounds awesome enough that I might need to give
it another chance.
