Can I configure separate sound volume for each user?

Question

I want to apply distinct sound volume for distinct users in Ubuntu 12.04. But now all users share the same master volume.

I've found the solution here. It sets volume level to a particular value after every login. It works with PulseAudio only.

1. Copy default pulse config file to your home location:

   cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse

2. In your config file locate the following line:

   load-module module-always-sink

   Immediately after the above line, add the following line:

   set-sink-volume 0 {your-volume-level-here}

   Volume level is a number in a range 0..65535. For example:

   set-sink-volume 0 32768
