I've checked and the flag is fine. This behavior comes from the use of the BCM socketCAN that prevents receiving two consecutives frames with the same data.
The socket doesn't process frames if data haven't changed. This is the design of the BCM socket that wants that. Timeout could be used to ensure that messages are sent within a time interval but frames without modification wouldn't be processed anyway. At this time timeout aren't handled.
I got a suggestion to handle your use case, why not handle that in your function that receives the event and you just have to increase the volume regularly until the release event are received. No ?

Thanks, Romain. I notice in application-generated.cpp that all the messages seem to have send_same set:
...
frequency_clock_t(0.00000f),// frequency
true,// send_same
false,// force_send_changed
...
Which I would have thought would mean they'd be sending all the time without changes, but we're not seeing that. Before I dig around in low-can, is it possible the flag is reversed (i.e. send_same needs to be false to send all the time)?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Sorry for the delay, yes indeed, the low-can only generate events if the
value/data has changed so you only get the first messages. You can use
the 'send_same' property of the signal to get it sent even if there is
no changes :)
I have to improve the documentation to fully describe the JSON property
when you define your signals and messages. Yes :/
Regards.
Romain.
