I'll double-check this. I presume it will be a bug in PulseAudio, but I have no proof of that yet.
It's a gnome-media bug. Upstream bug is at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575093 Fixed in gnome-media 2.25.92-4: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1238143
Is it correct that 100% equals 0.00db and 50% equals -30.00db? Maybe I'm totally misreading this but it makes no sense to me... (I just tested with the latest gnome-media from koji)
That's the way that dB information is used for soundcards.
