The 16-bit thing for volume is probably related to the bit depth of standard CD audio, although
apparently
that's a signed integer.

Not sure why it would need to be same, but meh.
It'd be nice if the page would say why it's signed. I can't think of any logic in having negative volume?

He just wants to turn it all the way up to 11.

Actually... if you do know a way to amplify beyond 100% that'd be handy.
With some things (e.g. Last.fm) I can set everything to 100% and it'll still play quieter than, for example, BBC iPlayer at 3 and 50%.

There are probably some crap audio booster applications somewhere, but it'll no doubt distort the signal more as well. I don't even like the Windows volume sliders on 100%.

I think iPlayer content is just mixed significantly louder than normal stuff anyway. It's much louder than everything else I play on XBMC, including broadcast TV and downloaded content.

Well yeah, but it's not the only thing.
I tend to have YouTube on about 40% (with Win at 50%), and I think I might have Vimeo even lower.
But then Jango I put at 100%, and then vary Win's level from 60% upwards (which is now much easier, yay), because they don't have a normalised catalogue (and some songs just sound better louder/quieter anyway).
Can all get rather frustrating.

Well yeah, videos on YouTube vary in volume too, not a lot to do about it.

ITV's player's pretty cool, as it seems to dip the volume lower for the adverts on anything I normally watch. It's a pity they can't do that on the actual TV, as usually the adverts are shouting at me instead.

Heh, that's surprising, but nice to hear.
But... is there actually anything on ITV that's worth watching?
