hardware volume up to 100%, that's great... Why does Pidgin still not
have native Pulseaudio support? I set it to use paplay because in the
past Pidgin would leak PA connections and RAM like crazy and choke the
machine dead any other way. This "flat volume" thing now seems to mean
short alert tones will cause obnoxious volume glitching if they happen
to be louder than my music.
Flat volumes can be disabled in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf or
~/.pulse/daemon.conf with the following line:
flat-volumes = no
