I see 2 solutions:
0. Prolong a time interval when the volume slider is visible for 10 seconds.
1. Prolong a time interval when the volume slider is visible forever. 
Allow a user to close the volume slider manually.

To be honest, I expected kinda database viewing tool which shows all 
streams which occurred in the past. Nevertheless, "pavucontrol" is good 
enough as it is. Thank you for your work.
