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.
