Subject: alsa-mixer: Fix the assumption that volume is always positive
X-Git-Tag: 1.0_branch~569
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6efa693fe7628b74cb0d97af03fba55b0b4b9d0d;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fpulseaudio.git

alsa-mixer: Fix the assumption that volume is always positive

Add a variable to track whether the actual volume is set or not.
Suppose this:
	min volume: -126	max volume: 0
then when user wants to set some constant volume to -10, it would fail.

While the alsa values are typically positive, some values are "funky"
and have negative values. It is desirable to fix this at the alsa
level so that the numbers are positive, but it's not technically
invalid, and thus we have to support it.

Discussed here:
