Bug Description
In split cue mode, the gain of the master channel in the right ear is controlled by the master gain control. To reduce the volume of the right ear to a reasonable level for my headphones, I'd have to turn the master output way down. Instead, both the left ear (PFL channel in mono) and right ear (master channel in mono) should be controlled by the headphone gain in split cue mode (with the master output independently controlled by the master gain control).

This issue is somehow complicated, because strictly spoken you misuse the gain knobs as volume knob.
However you use case is valid and it is a common problem that user do it like that and than complaining about the bad sound of Mixxx.
It looks like there is an issue in our singnal path. How should the ideal case look like? Do we actually need a independent headphone gain?
The master gain should be used to make most of the sound card resolution and / or level the output stream for recording and broadcasting to a desired loudness of recommended -16 LUFS.
The sound system volume should be levelled by the hardware faders inside the sound card, by an external hardware fader or by the volume knob of the amp itself. Using the gain knobs works, but they act like a bit crusher effect.
