TheMuso put a fair amount of effort into making sure this was addressed in 8.10 which is good. Sadly pavucontrol is not installed by default it seems which is really shooting yourself in the foot considering that the benefits of pulseaudio are not realised unless you can control it in some way and pavucontrol is the best tool for this at the moment.
