Yep, the volume may actually be rounded like you said, so Im not
really sure how we can queue because we will not be able to verify the
volume has been set properly, we could do a blocking call even in case
of setting as a property we only need to delay the call to
g_dbus_pending_property_success until we actually receive a response,
that said there maybe some impact on the user experience since if you
have the volume implemented with something like a slider it will not
move smoothly anymore, but I guess that is better than have it
flipping back and forth, well except that can still happens because
the volume can be changed on the device in the meantime but I guess
the client wont see those changes until the method returns if it is
blocking waiting for the reply, which means it will only see that the
value flipped to something else later when the signals are dispatched.
If you feel like that is acceptable I'm happy to review any patches in
that direction.
