So how do you ensure that one tab wasn't much louder than the other?

In this case, it doesn't make much sense to treat the browser as a single application, but each site as one (does Chrome export each tab as a separate source to PA? IDK, I haven't checked). And, I can't think of a single thing that I actually want producing sound (and don't mind just muting) from my web browser that doesn't have its own volume control.

In my use, zero or one tabs is producing sound at any one time, so the distinction doesn't really matter to me.

And in most people's use, zero or one applications is producing sound at any one time, so the distinction doesn't really matter to them.
