hi The only negative issue, although to me it's more of an oh, that's right moment, is that you can no longer adjust application volumes up beyond the master volume, only down, but that's kind of the idea. I do suggest, and I don't know how easy this would be to do, that sound application settings, such as gnome's control center, display volumes as percentages rather than arbitrary numbers. I'm smart enough to know that 65536 is somewhat equal to sorry, you've reached max, you can't go further, but to most people, they'll see taht and go huh? Mind you I'm blind, and there might be a percentage hidden somewhere. This is the case with the volume slider on the top bar, and I have to use orca's where am I functionality to read it. I then get output that looks like, volume slider 0.5 47 percent, as opposed to just volume slider 0.5. Thanks Kendell clark
