Summary: Feature request - volume percentage

Initial Comment:
I would like to be able to program a key to switch to (say) 10% 
volume, or any configurable amount. However all i can find is 
up/down/mute. I think this would be a useful addition. 
 
Thanks.

I posted a patch to the patch tracker that should add this 
feature.  Please see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detail&aid=913198&group_id=64301&atid=506989 .  I 
have tested this, and it worked fine on my system using 
tvtime-command: "tvtime-command MIXER_UP 10" to increase 
volume by 10% .

Bah tourettes you should just send me a patch and use the
argument or something ;)

I don't know about like jumping to 10% volume, that seems
kinda weird.  You could easily just bind a key to run 'aumix
-l 10' using the RUN_COMMAND or whatevericalledit thing. 
That would be much more sane.

This is not an answer to your post, but more of a tip.

I was getting annoyed with the fact that the volume only 
increases and decreases by a factor of 1%, using this with a 
remote control (even with repeat=1) it took forever to 
increase and decrease the volume.

in the TVtime source, edit commands.c and do a search 
for "mixer_set_volume", the line should look like this:

  volume = mixer_set_volume( ( (tvtime_cmd == 
TVTIME_MIXER_UP) ? 1 : -1 ) );

Change the "? 1: -1" to the percentage you want your volume 
to increase and decrease by, for example, i find increasing 
and decreasing by 5% much nicer:

volume = mixer_set_volume( ( (tvtime_cmd == 
TVTIME_MIXER_UP) ? 5 : -5 ) );


By looking at the source, it seems that the framework is there 
to pass the percentage to the MIXER_UP and MIXER_DOWN 
commands, just not implemented yet.
