That sort of whiplash (disabling something 'temporarily' only to bring

volume haters will rejoice when we turn it off now and upset when we
bring it back later. The flat volume proponents will have the opposite
reaction. And everybody else will just shake their head and think "they
have no idea what they're doing".
Since we've been living with flat volume's warts for so long, I would
suggest to wait for the PA fixes.
Is it a PA fix that's needed, or is it the applications that need to
not default to asking for 100% volume? My understanding is with flat
volume, 100% application volume means 100% absolute volume, rather
than 100% of "system" volume, i.e. a relative amount.
Maybe some people would volunteer to show up for a volume test day, go
through the apps with a default installation and report apps with too
high default volume?
