Good news... we introduced switch-on-connect in Ubuntu 17.10 onward. I'm
not sure if it's appropriate to backport that feature to 16.04 since
it's arguably not a bug fix but we'll note your request for it in
xenial.

Title:
Sound applet reflects volume of different device when bluetooth device
auto-connects
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
As currently set up in Ubuntu 16.04, when an audio device connects via
bluetooth, it starts being used by programs automatically. However,
the sound applet still "points to" the previously selected audio
output. Therefore, changing the volume has no immediate audible
effect.
The way to change that, currently, is to go to Sound settings, select
the bluetooth device as current output (again?), and then the volume
will change.
I would expect that, when a bluetooth device is connected, it starts
being used, *and* changing the volume immediately will affect the
bluetooth device.
I googled a bit, and people have suggested [1] that the file
/etc/pulse/default.pa should contain load-module module-switch-on-
connect before the volume is restored. My installation does not have
that line, but it does have:
### Should be after module-*-restore but before module-*-detect
load-module module-switch-on-port-available
According to [1], maybe this should be listed in that file *before*
the aforementioned module-*-restore lines.
