Volumes are applied block-by-block. The Block size is variable and
depends on the sound device and the application used.

I wrote some code to implement volume "envelopes" for this. The code
is there, it's even included in the tarball.  But it's not hooked
up. And until I finish that I fear, no: we cannot do volume ramping.

Sorry,

Lennart
