Excellent, thanks.  It's very easy with Jack, there is a call: 
"JACK_SetAllVolume(audioid, vol)", takes a volume between 0-100.  There 
is an example in the OpenDevice() code setting it to 100.

I only mention this as an example of how easy it will be to add if there 
was a framework, eg adding in a "SetVolume" function to the base 
library.  Then the rest can be abstracted to a generic volume control class?

Please let me know if it all compiles and I didn't screw anything up 
making the patch...?

Thanks
