No.

But i'd point pulseaudio (since it esp. can and does control volume
per client)

Aside that i can still not suggest to use gstreamer at all (it still
sounds crap due to obvious latency issues use vlc, xine or even the
process based mplayer backend) i'd try to play some pcm wav in amarok +
phonon-gst and if even that doesn't work (while phonon-gst worksin
general) disable or remove pulse (don't forget to shut down the running
daemon) and see what's happening.

As for fixing pulse/settings: i've no idea, sorry.

Cheers,
Thomas
