PA recommends UIs allow volumes to be overdriven to +11dB which is 153%.

That said, I wouldn't personally recommend that the volume keys on a
laptop allow volumes to go up that high... I'd say they should be stuck
to PA_VOLUME_NORM aka 100%

Which version of gnome is this? In my 2.x it's limited to 100% with the
keys even if the UIs can go up to 153%
