Description Praveen Thirukonda 2009-11-20 12:27:28 UTC 
So i can see the reasoning behind allowing volume to be extended > 100% for the first time from the sound preferences only. but once a volume >100% has been sent. Then keyboard media keys should be allowed to increase and decrease volume in this range.

And also the volume applet should expose the volumes once already that range has been entered.

    media-keys: Don't go up to 11
    
    Revert patch from bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631030
    We don't actually want to go to 11 and allow users
    to blindly get into software amplification territory.

Though, see bug 658248 about improving things a bit.
