In some cases that's the fix, in others it needs to be fixed in
PulseAudio (it depends if we only need to change the *initial default
level* for a second mixer element - in which case we add an entry to the
ALSA db - or if a second mixer element *needs to be varied dynamically*
when you adjust the single volume slider - in which case Pulse has to be
adjusted to handle this).

I'll add a comment to the bug with a note on what information people
need to report for bugs of this type, thanks for the suggestion.
