It might be that new "feature" implemented in F11 called "flat volumes." In an attempt to copy Windows, for only God knows why, the PA folks made your apps change the system volume. This, coupled with a bug in gstreamer adjusting at logarithmic amounts instead of linear, it makes volume management a pain. The fix?
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf Uncomment "flat-volumes = yes" and change it to "no" and save. Log out, wait 30 seconds for pulse to die (another great "feature") and log in. Volume level changes are now normal again! Coupled with the latest PA update yesterday, F11 now sounds like F10. Ah...
Have a good one.

Well, I think I will appreciate it...when it starts to work correctly :/

It gets even worse that that. ALSA also doesn't map to PulseAudio 1/1. Now you have ALSA volume != PulseAudio volume !=Apps Volume. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of flat volumes, if every slider uses a wildly different scale.
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf
You don't have to edit system-wide config for that. ~user/.pulse/daemon.conf is enough.
Uncomment "flat-volumes = yes" and change it to "no" and save. Log out, wait 30 seconds for pulse to die (another great "feature") and log in.
Or you could just run "pulseaudio --kill" and "pulseaudio --daemon" (both without root privilages) in terminal.
Thanks for sharing the tip. I just hope this stuff gets fixed soon.
