I'm confused. This patch is aimed at the 2.1 release and would revert
the change from 2000 of last month. Anyway if you remove the default
gain don't you need to change this factor too to keep things consistent?

And I reckon that was a good idea on your part! Yes there's a delay over
100% and yes that makes volume latency inconsistent depending on whether
you're under or over 100%, but at this point that's the best compromise
I have to offer.
