Comment 27 for bug 411042

You can read here[1] more about the flat-volumes feature. If you read the whole thread, you can see that the feature itself seems to have advantages over the old system. As also discussed in the thread, at the moment it is more of an UI "bug" or usability issue, but there is also no clear and easy solution for that yet. The PA people are aware of it.
