Bug#824059: plasma-desktop: When used with pulseaudio, can make people deaf

I remember having similar problem with kde4 knotify
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324975 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345651. I can still partly reproduce
this with KF5 and gstreamer backend by playing notification and adjusting
the notification volume to 100%. After this the master volume is raised to
100% but all the other streams are lowered to keep the same voume level.

Since this is probably a very complicated issue that might be caused by

The second upstream bug says that gstreamer backend should manage the
volumes better. Could you try that?
