So at the cost of one extra icon the icons spec we probably prevent
the filing of two bugs. So the "0" icon has a clear use. Can you
explain me what the problem is of adding it to the spec?
The icon makes absolutely no sense. There's no reason to have a single
icon for 1/101 values, and 3 others for 33.33../100 values each.
"Sound" versus "no sound" is a useful distinction.
And by your argument that a single ) is not representative of the 0%
level, the same can be said for no ), as on some cards, audio may
still be emitted at a 0% volume setting.

The word "zero" is not easily mocked. If I set the volume to zero, the
system should do whatever it takes to ensure there is no sound being
produced. None. Zilch. Nada.
