In pavucontrol, in my original email, I was referring to the device volume (Output Devices tab). At the time, I didn't even think to check the stream volume. Since posting, I did discover the flat volume config option, and have disabled it. (I didn't check the pavucontrol stream volume sync with vlc when flat volume was still enabled.) At any rate - now that flat volume is disabled, the behavior is much more intuitive (at least to me!). Thank you!
