You're right, it was in alsamixer. I apologize for the frustration -- unfortunately, it often happens that by the time I get around to asking a question in a place where I might get an answer, I've already spent 1-2 hours searching the web and getting annoyed that the answer isn't there. As for the comparison to Windows, I didn't mean it as "why doesn't pa behave like Windows?" The intention was just to say, I have one system (Ubuntu) which I really like except for this weird audio routing, and two other systems (Windows and Mac) that do not have this routing as the default configuration. I think Windows audio is kind of a mess myself and I really hope pa devs don't try to emulate it :) Anyway, that part turned out not to be pa, so that's okay. Still unclear about the volume changing.
