           Summary: Noatun should have relative volume levels i.e. "Whisper"
                    to "Rock Concert" w/normalization
           Product: noatun
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-multimedia at kde.org

Version:           2.2.1 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise

Just like the "Fuzzy Clock", the Noatun volume control could be set in relative sound levels...Instead of "Low to High", there could be "Library" to "Rock Launch". See more info at <A HREF="http://www.lhh.org/noise/decibel.htm">Relative Decibel levels</A>

Also, there should be a way to actually limit the sound levels with regard to normalization, like in <A HREF="http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44726">bug# 44726</A>. I want to be able to guarantee that when listening to the Beatles then switch to Metallica, my girlfriend won't wake up beside me.
