Default Volume not yet takes app into account

[splashmirror]

when playing a playlist e.g. VLC and switch to next item,
the current audio-output-channel is closed and a new one is opened)
the volume it uses isnt dependant/affected by
context :

• app name

• app PID/instance

• app title contents

• window

but instead it is global,

steps to reproduce:
1. play audio on playlist VLC-instance-1
2. open a 2nd audio-app and set it to a different volume
~ global volume changes to that of 2nd-app's
3. on VLC-instance-1 increment it to next audio file
4. VLC-instance-1 adopts the 2nd-app's volume

this is sometimes painfully jarring when simultaneously playing media with different volumes
e.g. even web-browsers sometimes output volume and require adjustments...

is this related to pulseaudio? using a global default volume
and not rmembering whtehr user selected to use choose app-specific-setting instead of a glocal default

Is there a global volume setting in VLC? I rarely use VLC but smplayer has that.
