@videolan, we'd appreciate it if you could give us a clue on this. Thank you!
Just asked on the videolan IRC. Answer: "[...] volume is set by pulseaudio, not by VLC"
So it seems to be pacmd for this one.

Please rename this Issue accordingly and if possible @mention a person able to digg into this. Thanks.
The issue name is correct. I don't see a need to change it.
Why should I mention anybody? I'm no member of this project. This is a bugreport. Everyone is free to look into it and send you pull requests etc.
It is now;
> cvlc --full-help | grep -A 2 \\-\\-gain | tail -n 3
VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)
--gain <float [0.000000 .. 8.000000]>
Audio gain
This linear gain will be applied to outputted audio.
unlike the following that don't influence the VLC pre-amp;
> cvlc --full-help | grep \\-vol
VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)
--v4l2-audio-volume <integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
--dvb-voltage <integer [0 .. 18]>
--dvb-high-voltage, --no-dvb-high-voltage
--sout-raop-volume <integer [0 .. 255]>
--qt-max-volume <integer [60 .. 300]>
--volume-step <float [1.000000 .. 256.000000]>
--volume-save, --no-volume-save
--global-key-vol-up <string>
--key-vol-up <string> Volume up
--global-key-vol-down <string>
--key-vol-down <string> Volume down
--global-key-vol-mute <string>
--key-vol-mute <string> Mute
When manually issuing the cvlc command in I get
Warning: option --volume no longer exists.
I can't find out when and why they removed it, but as it stands the option is simply ignored which leads to vlc using the volume it had on last close.
I think it should be possible to adjust the volume via pacmd in the same way that you contol the spotify sink.
