pulseaudio logs

Description of problem:
Days ago I disabled PulseAudio's flat volumes due PulseAudio:
- crackling audio trouble #1264177
- inability to correctly handle application bad behaviour about volume levels #1265267

Disabling PulseAudio's flat volumes solved the mentioned problems, but introduced a new one.
I usually increase / decrease volume level by using mouse wheel on KMix icon.
Both actions sometimes trigger the master volume to 100% level. While collecting PulseAudio logs, I managed to reproduce (twice) the problem:
Note: each mousewheel step increases or decreases volume level by a 5%.

===First occurrence of the problem===
At line number 1359 you can see the volume setted at 70%:
A few moments later, I tried to increase it at 75%, but the volume level has been pushed to 100% (line number 1459).

===Second occurrence of the problem===
At line number 18000 you can see the volume setted at 40%:
A few moments later, I tried to increase it at 45%, but the volume level has been pushed to 100% (line number 18016).


Since on the logs, every volume level change has the form of

D: [alsa-sink-Multichannel] alsa-sink.c: Requested volume: front-left: 65536 / 100% / 0,00 dB,   front-right: 65536 / 100% / 0,00 dB

that "Requested volume" makes me think about PulseAudio being requested to set the volume to 100%. So in the dubt I added in CC some guys of KDE SIG and alsa.

I can quite easly reproduce the problem, so feel free to ask me to do any test.
