Bug#649875: earcandy forces the "max" volume setting

[Pierre Habouzit]

Package: earcandy
Version: 0.9+bzr12-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When you set a min/max range for a given player, instead of checking the
volume is between this range, it forces the volume of the application to
be at the maximum all time. It's very annoying.

I'd like earcandy to just ensure the constraints I set are met, and that
when e.g. I'm watching something in my browser (flash, movie, $whatnot)
fades the music player in the background to 0 until I'm done with this
browser plugin. Remembering the level of the music player before it
performed the fade-out so that it can fade it in back to the previous
level.

Right now, using earcandy with a music player means you risk to wake up
your neighbours (or worse your wife and children…) at night when you use
a new unconfigured music player because spotify insists on forcing the
sound to 100%. Yay. Not cool
