1. Agreed, there are properties of pulseaudio that are not accessible
via the GUI and only configurable via configuration files, more
configuration accessible via GUI could be a valid wishlist item. If
you're a qualified programmer, I think pulseaudio will accept patches
making that reality.

2. The alsamixer layer is still available (via e g alsamixer in a
terminal). However the gnome volume control uses the pulseaudio layer
now, so it is not equally visible. The idea is that you should never
need anything that pulseaudio does not control, but in reality that
doesn't work for all soundcards. That could perhaps be called a
regression, I personally think it would be good if we could expose the
alsamixer layer more.

Btw, you said "scattered among them" in your original bug report - that
is AFAIK not true as every volume control available through pulseaudio
is accessible through pavucontrol.
