have volume control work for each zone

Got an idea, post it here

have volume control work for each zone

Hey
is it possible to have the volume control on all the overlays adjust the volume for the current active zone.
in the events: currently the volume controls are linked to 'master volume adjust' this is why it only works for default sound device.

if multiple sound cards are added you have to constantly go into the control overlay to adjust the volume on zones that are not part of the default sound device
it would be more efficient if you can adjust the volume from the music details page (where the tracks are listed with coverart)
as i switch between zones, the audio controls will switch to that zone.

if there is already a way to achieve this, please point me in the right direction.
thanks again

We could do this just like the media playback controls do. I will add this concept to the Mantis system. So we can add an option where the volume control for the main volume in the skin would convert to the current zone in use. :D
