As a non-audio-engineer trying to adjust the sound level in vlc PA keep 
messing up my sound level (going to full 100%) any time I tried to 
adjust it.
Just ask my wife for conformation as she didn't like the 100% volume 
every time I adjusted the sound level in vlc or xmms etc.
So try to adjust the volume I did.....but wait I'll get it right this 
time....Turn the damn thing down!!!! She screamed.
Ok just let me..... TURN THE DAMN THING OFF!!!

Removed PA and only using ALSA equals working properly. As a bonus there 
is peace in the house ;)
