I am not a programmer, but this should be an easy one to do for someone
who is.

First, the problem.  When I set my Slimserver in sleep mode to lull me
off to sleep at night, I set it to a very low , almost inaudible,
volume.  But inevitably, as things quiet down and my ears become more
sensitive, I have to get up out of bed to turn the volume down yet
again (via the computer, my stereo is in my living room).  The next
morning, forgetting that I had turned down the volume via the computer,
I end up turning the volume on my stereo way up to get a reasonable
volume.

Proposed solution:  some sort of smart sleep.  I'd like to be able to
give a start volume and an end volume.  The sleep should then ramp the
volume down by some fraction, either by stepping down after each song
or just linearly with time.  For instance, if I start at 100%, and tell
it to end at 40%, and I set sleep to 60 minutes, the volume should ramp
down by 1% per minute.  Alternitively, if there are 10 songs in the
playlist, it should drop by 5% after each song (whichever is easier to
manage).  If one wanted to get fancy, other ramps (quadratic,
exponential, etc.) could be included.

As a bonus, after the music shuts off, the volume should be restored to
the original level so I don't have to remember to do it the next morning
in my groggy pre-coffee state.

Any takers?
