For the moment the best workaround I have found is to set default-server = 127.0.0.1 in /etc/pulse/client.conf
Doesn't seem to break anything that I can find but it is only a workaround not a fix......still shows the same bizarreness in the pulseaudio volume control/metering.
However the plot thickens as running the alsamixer and panning PCM left or right has the same effect as pulling down one of the L/R input faders in pulse.
Still broken in Maverick
