Replying myself: For example, 32-bits can be separated to: 12-bits manimal value (0-4095) => 0.05dB => -154.75dB - 50dB 12-bits maximal value (0-4095) => 0.05dB => -50dB - 154.75dB 8-bits step value (0-255) => 0.05dB => 0-12.75dB It will satisfy nicely requirements for both drivers and has plenty space to store more wide ranges. Also, handling of first value as mute can be specified as a new indentifier in the TLV tree.
