Interesting. Smells like someone is patching something somewhere then.
Like I say I don't have this problem here - volume keys will have their
upper limit @100%

I'd still be generally in favour of limiting the keys to 100% but
ultimately it's up to the Dekstop environments to decide what they think
is best.

So I'd get in touch with the relevant gnome people and ask the question:
Should the keys limit the volume to 0dB, but with the UI allowing up to
+11dB?
