1 master slider per audio interface seems reasonable to me.
I can't think of any other exceptional case outside VoIP, i which i'd
automate a behaviour like the headphone / speaker autonomy suggested.

Most people only have only one audio interface, too.
Forcing "common" behaviour to a specifically modified use case often leads
to strong difficulties. Whoever chooses to install an additional audio
device, such as USB headsets for VoIP calls, should have an extra option to
control these independently.
