Comment(by lennart):

 Hmm, no, I disagree. We explicitly allow volumes > PA_VOLUME_NORM for
 digital amplification. In fact we have been exposing digital amplification
 for recording in g-v-c already and I have been recommending for a while to
 extend the output volume control volume sliders to "150%", too, so that
 people can make use of this.

 So, generally limiting the range to PA_VOLUME_NORM is not really something
 I'd like to merge. However I would accept a patch that adds module
 parameters to m-l and m-m-e that allow specification of an upper limit up
 to which one may increase the volume with these modules. We could even
 enable that by default and set it to PA_VOLUME_NORM*3/2, or so.
