We decided to expose software amplification in the UI, since it is actually a much requested feature, and I have used myself a couple of times.
The primary use case is when you play a DVD (which very often has audio normalized to a very low volume) on weak speakers, such as laptop speakers.

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
