What does the volume slider actually do? Boosting the volume "above
100%" would be fine I think (my pulseaudio settings already has this
option), but actually making everything quieter by default would be
annoying...

Not sure what the audio quality implications in terms of distortion or
clipping is on such a "boost beyond 100%" - whether it's in Galene or
Pulseaudio or both?
