there was some talk a while back about adding something similar to
this.  i think ppl were inquiring on other possible commercial
detection methods.  detect commercials based on the volume increase or
sound gain.  one of the devs thought it was doable and that it was on
his long laundry list of TODO's. :)
so using commercial volume to detect and skip commercials would be
cool, but it would also be cool to lower the volume by a % if you
aren't auto-skipping commercials.
