It would be good to document what parameters the command takes, and
what parameters the reply has.

The convention is to check errors with "< 0".

I would create a new section for the messaging stuff. I don't think it
belongs in the modules section.

All other commands document in which version they were introduced.

All other commands document in which version they were introduced. I
can understand that repeating the same comments in two places can feel
weird, and I'm not sure either that it's a good idea, but let's be
consistent.

I think we should check message and message_parameters for utf8-
validity too.
I'd like to have a debug message that says what client sent what
message. Maybe with message parameters too, or maybe not.
Since clients don't have names, and client indexes are so hard to map
to applications, the message should print something else.
command_set_volume() uses the process name, which you can copy, but
some clients set the application name too, so if you want to be fancy,
you can include the application name in the message.

See the previous patch for my comments about error handling.

Why is the cast there?
