Hi there.
I wonder why no more comments have been posted for over two weeks now.
As far as I am concerned, the problem is still in place, and none of the
workarounds proposed above (using a pure PCM-control; passing
ignore_dB=yes to the module(s)) have worked out for me.

The log probably shows me switching from a custom sink I made that swaps my
front and rear.
Note: I don't get the overdriven sound when I swap my front and rear, in
fact, it seems that pulseaudio isn't using alsa mixers to change volume
when I do that... kinda strange.
**
I'm not sure what the purpose of these logs are. I mean, everyone knows
what the problem is: the alsa mixer tracks are increasing asynchronously
instead of the previous approach which was to select what tracks you
want the volume to control, thus having a selection of tracks moving
synchronously
The previous approach is non-intuitive for many people. Please google
for flat volume and see how other operating systems approach the
issue.
Also, you're incorrect that having overdriven audio is a PulseAudio
problem. It's both a hardware bug (broken hardware!) and a linux bug
