You can't really draw too many conclusions from the fact that people
complain on this list - its what you do on this list. Other people with
good track record who don't have a problem with volume handling (like
me) will not show up here to praise and defend PA.

Now, we should certainly look at ways to improve the situation, but
that that will require talking to PA developers...
