Public bug reported:

1) Ubuntu version:

Using 14.04. Issues were introduced after upgrade from 13.10

$ uname -a
Linux jonas-xps 3.13.0-18-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 17 21:40:06 UTC 2014 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

2) Alsa version:

alsa-base:
  Installed: 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu4

3) What I expected to happen

When disconnecting my Kensington USB dock[1], which has an external sound card, 
I expected volumes to either:
- Remain the same as they were before the disconnect [3][4]
- Volumes to be adjusted to 50% or some other saner value than 100%

4) What happened instead

When disconnecting the USB dock, all volumes are set to 100%[5],
including application volumes[2].

Additionally, the external sound card is not selected in gnome-control-
center[5] (see #1250759) and the card volume slider has no effect.
