You probably haven't seen anything like this on the list because most  
people just record the programs they want to watch and let the  
commercial flagging handle the issue of loud commercials. :)
In all seriousness, you are not likely to see any dev activity on  
something like this because devs prefer to cut the commercials out of  
their lives than to just turn them down. I have seen this feature on  
televisions, but not in Myth or on receivers.
