The problem is that our mixers don't provide a smooth range 0..255
(scaled to 0..100 by the OSS emulation) but will ratchet up to the
next supported value. The details may vary with the sound hardware,
on my laptops (clcs, auich) the step size is 8. mp3blaster tries
to adjust the volume by +/- 2 on the OSS scale, which doesn't work.
Example: Let outputs.mixer be 103. Setting it to 103+1 will ratchet
it up to 111, but 103-1 will return to 103.

I don't see how this can work, since it doesn't bump the increment
up to the required step size.

Nope, doesn't work here.
