[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 1/2] pactl: Accept more volume specification formats

I was also going to add relative volumes, such as +3dB and -5%, by
detecting a + or - sign in the volume. But that clashes with the
absolute dB scale (insofar a dB can ever be absolute) that can also be
negative.

Any suggestions for graceful handling of this?
