Jeez, man, I explained that in my original reply. If I may quote myself: 'On top of that most volume controls should then mark the ALSA 0dB point as "base" volume on the slider, at what PA then calls -y dB. That way we will expose 0dB as maximum hw amplitude uniformly on all sound cards and have a special point on the slider that is hinted to be the "comfort" point. This is all explained on http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WritingVolumeControlUIs#BaseVolumes' See? It's all explained there. We still show the ALSA 0dB point on our sliders, we just don't call it "0dB" but "base volume".
