           Summary: there should be an interface that may be implemented by
                    sinks that do volume control
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unversioned Enhancement
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Right now a few sinks implement a "volume" property. This should be part of of
a proper interface.

Also, that interface should also provide a boolean "mute" in addition (and
independantly) of the double "volume".

Also, instead of using a linear factor for volume it might be a good idea to
use hundreds of dB there (like everyone else).

Finally, if you stick with linear for the volume then don't limit the factor to
0..10. but to at least 60dB (i.e. 1000).
