[pulseaudio-discuss] Realtek ALC892 being overdriven to 153 % volume

'Twas brillig, and Conor Curran at 20/06/11 10:52 did gyre and gimble:

>> 4. In the UI, add a checkbox saying "Give me 11 dB more!" (or "Ultra

I'd be happy enough with that. I would quite like to define a way for
saving these kind of preferences easily tho'. The daemon.conf is all
well and good, but it's not UI friendly to edit this in place in the
user's home directory...

I've recently converted our little databases to tagstruct so we can now
save proplists quite easily. Perhaps a core proplist is in order for
some configuration things (per-device and per-stream proplist
saving/restoring (only a subset thereof) would also be quite nice - for
simple UI things mainly like whether or not the volume UI is split
(per-channel) or grouped (just one value) for example).

Might be worth considering post v1
