Comment(by murz):
One of the method to solve this is to store ballance value of channels
when setting volume to 0%, but it solve the problem only for 2-channels
sinks, but for describe volumes in 4.1-7.1 sink we must create more than
one ballance value.
I think that better solution is store per-channel volumes in sink
unchanged, and create new value - main sink volume (something like base
volume). And via increase/decrease sink commands do the change only main
volume and don't touch channel volumes config.
And adding main sink volume will add new feature to pulseaudio: ability to
manually set maximum volume for sink (user can set 50% volume of each
channel in sink and after that he been able to not be afraid making sound
too loud, increasing main volume to 100%).
Because very often sound systems have many decibels that was never used,
because on 100% volume the sound is very loud.
