 I just got my ears hurt because of an Amarok2 bug it seems. The device
 volume (or maybe stream volume?) was changed by it from my usual 50% to
 144% and more.

 It would be nice if (buggy) applications were disallowed to change device
 volume. I set the device volume since the amplifier and speakers are very
 loud at 0dB and I want to leave headroom for silent recordings.

 I want this device volume to increase only when I want it. I think this is
 only the case when there is some silent recording and I go to Volume
 Control and increase that stream volume and in turn Flat Volume chamges
 the device volume (I have 0.9.15). That would be nice. :)

 Regards.
 Sladi
