Public bug reported:

Running Ubuntu 15.04, pavucontrol 2.0-3.
There is a known bug where pulseaudio doesn't resize big icons. Might be related to this https://launchpad.net/bugs/1175416.

However after upgrading to 15.04 I also noticed that some system icons
(sound card icon) were bigger than normal as well, which is another bug.

In the above screenshot, the Rhythmbox icon is normal, the soundcard icon is bigger than normal (happened only after the upgrade), and the steam icon is huge.

In the attached patch, the code responsible for setting the icons has
been altered to scale icons to the appropriate sizes, so both bugs are
fixed by it.

To be a bit more detailed, for the first issue, instead of the icon
being loaded from the path directly, it gets loaded into a pixbuf and
scaled to the appropriate size.

For the second issue, the flag ICON_LOOKUP_FORCE_SIZE is specified in
order to return theme icons in the resolution that was requested,
instead of returning a similar one.

The result after the patch:
