I just put something simple in there to make it work... open to better
ideas.

Dean, Vidur and I have been talking about volume control in general -
there's a lot more to it than meets the eye, once you consider
crossfading, replaygain, headphone use, amp use, etc. Right now the
sofware volume control uses an 8-bit linear value which by itself
doesn't give enough levels on the low end of the scale. With this
additional "preamp" control (7 bits of half decibels, done in the DAC)
it should solve the problem for those who've been stuck on the low end
of the bar with not enough resolution. But yes, the UI is a bit
abstruse. How about just a pop-up list with "quiet", "not so quiet",
"loud", "eleven"?   :)
