This bug belongs to the gnome-volume-control, not to gnome-volume- manager. So the title of this Bug is wrong.
But I have exactly the same problem. The gnome-volume-control on my system shows the same behavior. But it seems that the bug isn't in the gnome-media package, because this is a problem that seems to be exclusively with USB audio output. This let guess, that the bug is in the underlying code (gstreamer or alsa code).
