This kind of control is what, in principle, PulseAudio was designed to offer
on a per-application level. I've adjusted volume for a specific application
using pacmd. I don't recall whether it's possible to move a stream to a
different output device though. Changes appear to be persistent in the user's
PulseAudio configuration - they aren't limited to the current setting.
