(or "Ultra >> PulseAudio(R) Boost(TM)" ;-) ) and if enabled, both the UI and the >> media keys go up to +11 dB. That would at least keep the two consistent. I'd be happy enough with that. I would quite like to define a way for saving these kind of preferences easily tho'. The daemon.conf is all well and good, but it's not UI friendly to edit this in place in the user's home directory... I've recently converted our little databases to tagstruct so we can now save proplists quite easily. Perhaps a core proplist is in order for some configuration things (per-device and per-stream proplist saving/restoring (only a subset thereof) would also be quite nice - for simple UI things mainly like whether or not the volume UI is split (per-channel) or grouped (just one value) for example).
