What woudl also be interesting is to see how it behaves when controlled by iTunes. For example, my JBL OnBeat volume control does not work, hence I did this volume lock thing. I thought it was my fault at the begining, but I have exactly the same behaviour when using iTunes: sending proper AirPlay volume change commands are either ignored or cause the device to drop sound, so I change to volume lock and a "software volume". Remember that "soft volume" change is delayed by the amount of buffer the device has, and this can be a bit disturbing: with 3000ms of network buffer, any LMS volume command will take 3s to be applied to the player.
