The AVRCP spec (1.6.2) does not mention anything about a version requirement for Absolute Volume, despite this feature only existing since spec version 1.4. Android reports a version of 1.3 [1] for its "AVRCP remote" (CT) service and mentions in the comment above it itself relies on feature bits rather than the exposed version. As it stands BlueZ requires at least version 1.4 making it unable to communicate absolute volume levels with even the most recent Android phones running Fluoride (have not checked the version on Gabeldorsche). The spec states that supporting SetAbsoluteVolume and EVENT_VOLUME_CHANGED are mandatory when feature level 2 is declared, excluded otherwise. This feature bit is set on Android and, when used by this patch, allows for successfully communicating volume back and forth despite the version theoretically being too low.
