¡Hola!

All these issues seem to be caused by the pulseaudio default value 
"flat-volumes = yes" (see /etc/pulse/daemon.conf). I strongly suggest to 
change it to flat-volumes = no by default (even some upstream maintainers seem 
to agree [1]), this is already the default in ubuntu and arch.

For the users affected by this, please set flat-volumes = no in 
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf or in the ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf file.

Happy hacking,
