I just want to report that I found a work-around for this issue:
Disable PulseAudio's flat volumes.
Apparently having this setting enabled (Debian's default state) causes
PulseAudio to increase the master volume to 100% if an application (ie.
Banshee) sets it's volume to 100%.
To disable this setting, open /etc/pulse/daemon.conf in a text editor,
find the line "; flat_volumes = yes" and change it to no, also removing
the ; to uncomment the line so the setting is used.
I suspect this may be the reason this issue doesn't appear to exist in
Ubuntu, they must have flat volumes disabled by default...
