VLC media player has a slider from 0% to 300% , so the user are easily to
know  100% is the point which there is no software gain and no software
autentation

How did PA expose these software amplication in the UI so that ordinary user
can know that point ?

For the Mic Boost +20dB case , how PA handle this +20dB switch in the "Flat
Volume" model if you did not expost the Mic Boost switch to the user in the
mixer control ?

+20dB is quite significant in with the Capture Volume control
