Lets look at this another way, if you do nothing what is the outcome for 
these apps ?

Does the system volume go so high that my ear drums are brust and my 
speakers fried ?

Does some ancient app need to get its volume tweaked independently using 
the control in the app rather than the "desktop mixer" ?

I'm lacking context of what happens as far as the end user is concerned 
to help me evaluate the risks of the various approaches.

But I must say that I hate the idea of any interpretation of cli 
arguments being done in kernel and just as bad any interpretation of the 
command name.

Sometimes it is better to just break the compatibility.
