Another sound problem (volume and balance)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Hi,
just upgraded to current Karmic beta. All went fine and well, but I
have one issueabout the volume control - as it's working now it's
almost dangerous.
When I adjust the volume slider I can max out my laptop speakers at
about 15%, any higher and they are about to blow. When using a headset
I can't go over 9% before the sound gets dangerously loud. When using
the volume buttons on my laptop I can start at 0%, then click two
times until the volume becomes so loud (12%) I don't dare go any
further when wearing a headset...In Jaunty I had a much more fine-
grained control.
After inspecting how the new volume control works, I see that it
adjusts both the master volume and the PCM according to some
algorithm. While in concept I understand this is smart in order to
keep noise down, it works really terrible in my case. Imagine having a
computer that if someone (or something!) sets the volume to anything
above 20% and your speakers (and hearing) stand a good chance to blow.
Laptop:
Fujitsu Siemens Si1520.
lspci -v attached.
