Just thinking out loud and you have probably thought about this before
and discarded it, but just in case. What about instead
of PA_STREAM_DISABLE_FLAT_VOLUME we have PA_STREAM_ENABLE_FLAT_VOLUME
and consider all apps to have flat volumes disabled by default.

This would require definitely more work from the app side though not
that much. Maybe some api could be implemented in GStreamer to ease
setting the attribute at the right moment.

Best regards.
