This was about QMediaPlayer, but the problem still exists for QAudioOutput and QSoundEffect.

A possible fix in Qt would be to check if the sink has flat volumes enabled and if it does, do software-based attenuation (in Qt).
That way, QSoundEffect and QAudioOutput volumes would always be relative to the stream role's volume.
