This is still an issue on trusty. What makes it worse is that the previous volume levels are not saved, so you get 100% volume when you plug in the device.

I feel it would be made even better if gnome-volume-control were to switch its volume control from the old output to the new one - the one through which sound is currently being outputted. Often I will insert my USB speakers and want to immediately lower the volume. At the moment I have to right-click on the applet, click "sound preferences", click "output", choose the new output, then change the volume. I would like to be able to simply adjust the volume of the new device through the applet first time, without needed to explicitly select it first. Using karmic and gnome-media 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.
