[pulseaudio-discuss] Get or set volume instead of dB in most cases

[zhaochengyi at uniontech.com]

Hi guys,

Because many new models of sound cards have various problems with dB 
volume, I would like get or set the element volume in dB only when
e->has_dB is true and e->db_fix is valid.

That is, get or set volume instead of dB in most cases.

Would you please tell me your opinion? Thanks.
