* gnu/services/sound (pulseaudio-configuration) [daemon-conf]:
Disable flat-volumes.  Enabling flat-volumes, as is the upstream default,
causes unpleasant experiences to users when applications inadvertently max
out the system volume (e.g. as in #38172).

I moved this comment inside the service definition code so that we don't
have to reach for 'git blame' when we forget why it was added.
