Title:
  When using pulseaudio, there are no intuitive settings under "Use
  internal volume controls" to setup application specific volume control
  provided by pulseaudio

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  OS: Mythbuntu 14.04

  Sorry, if this is a mixed bug report, but if you know how to split
  this into separate bug reports against separate packages, please do so

  In audio settings...

  If I use Pulseaudio:default as audio output device, ALSA:default as
  Mixer device and PCM as Mixer controls, I can use Mythbuntu to control
  audio volume specific to Mythtv by Pulseaudio. However, if I choose
  Master as Mixer controls, changing internal volume changes ALSA volume
  controls (mainly Master, but also PCM and some other ALSA mixer
  control, if you lower volume more). That is more intuitive, but it is
  not an application specific volumer control. Besides, I tend to avoid
  setting Pulseaudio:default as the audio output device, because it
  causes pulseaudio to use excessive amount of CPU power.

  If I use ALSA:pulse (or ALSA:default or possibly others) as audio
  output device, ALSA:default as Mixer device, and PCM as Mixer
  controls, changing internal volume does not have an effect except
  visual display of volume setting. If I use Master as Mixer controls,
  it works like with Pulseaudio:default. Anyway, if I use veromix or
  pavucontrol, I can change volume specific to mythfrontend.real ALSA
  Playback. Consequently, I request such volume control as internal
  volume control option in Mythbuntu.
