[vlc] Volume Control Issues

[DOUG_PEELER at Dell.com]

To whom it may concern,

I would like to start a conversation with the VideoLAN team about the current volume control implementation on the VLC player.  The option to allow the customer to adjust volume above 100% results in digital distortion in any content that is mastered at or close to full scale. This results in both poor sound quality and, more importantly, failure in internal speakers and attached devices.  Given the negative impact to customers and manufacturers of systems supporting the software, I want to understand what it would take to change the design to limit the volume control to 100%.

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
