[Feature Request] Respect the ratio for each channel

[aruhier]

Hello,
I'm using pulseaudio-ctl with a 5.1 audio configuration, but when I'm increasing or decreasing the volume, it doesn't respect the ratio I have setup for each channel.

For example:

• front: 75%
• rear: 100%

Decreasing the volume of 40% will result to:

• front: 35%
• rear: 60%

So the ratio is not respected.
Also, there is another issue: max volume is configured to be 100%, but again, it doesn't respect the ratio if I keep increasing the volume. Every channels will be set to 100% instead of stopping when only one of the channels reaches 100%.

Thanks !

Interesting idea. In theory, it could be done but would require some calculation (the current ratio) and then the vol set function would need to respect that. I just don't have the time to play with it now but will leave the request open as a place holder. Pull requests are welcomed :)
