Well, I think the stream volume should ?push? the reference volume. ie. if stream volume > reference volume then reference volume == stream volume. The would be pretty intuitive if you ask me. That of course also eliminates the possibility of getting into an overdrive situation, but IMHO that?s a feature, not a bug. :-) > So yepp. We now found that > > a) presenting only virtual volume in the UI sucks > > b) presenting only ref volme in the UI sucks, too. > > So, what about integrating both values in some way?
