Bug#354327: totem-gstreamer: increase volume with software gain also

[joshua at nirmalvihar.info]

Package: totem-gstreamer
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: wishlist

Some of the films have very quiet audio.  Even with the alsa hardware 
mixer set to 100% for PCM & master, I can hardly hear anything on my 
small laptop speakers.  It would be cool if totem could provide software 
gain in addition to controlling the hardware mixer.
