-------------------------------------
Ok, the approach above is not good enough -- the "hardware volume" button
controls the ringer/device volume. The volume you are seeing above is correct,
it is the same volume as the iPod music player - which is separate from the
ringer/device volume.
To set/get the ringer volume, you would have to use MPVolumeView
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/mediaplayer/reference/MPVolumeView_Class/Reference/Reference.html
... but this class is opaque and visual only. There are a lot of hacks just to
get the ringer/device volume, which I don't think we want to go into:

So, right now, this doesn't look possible.
