speaking about other media players, i would be curious, how the mapping
from percentage to amplitude factor is done in other applications?
i could imagine:
- percentage == amplitude factor
- percentage mapped via stevens' law
- percentage mapped to a decibel range

i would try to avoid to make it more configurable, but maybe do some
user test with different scalings ... one could quickly write prototype
in supercollider, pure-data or something similar ...

cheers, tim
