[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: pulseaudio
Version: 6.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #674936

Dear Maintainer,

I went to Youtube and tried to listen music. But when I change the track,
 volume jumps up, to html5 player volume settings. It means, html5 player had 
higher priority, than user (by default). My browser is ephipany. I think, it's
browser-independent.
Changing config file (flat-volumes = no) help to solve my problem.
Please, change default settings to "flat-volumes = no", without help on russian
linux forum, I couldn't solve this problem alone, as user.
