Title:
  Sound menu volume slider does not take amplification into account

Status in Sound Menu:
  In Progress
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If your sound card has a volume with an "amplification" part, the
  indicator do not consider it. For example, if you set the volume with
  the applet to max, no amplification is selected.

  The worst part if that if you set using sound preference some
  amplification, the applet indicates 100%, but as soon as you touch the
  indicator, you lose your set amplification, so even you try to rise
  the volume, it will be reduced.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#PC>: "'Output volume:' ... should be
  followed by checkboxes for 'Mute' and 'Allow louder than 100%' (with a
  translation note advising to keep the label brief)."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Output_volume_item>: "Whenever 'Allow
  louder than 100%' is checked, the slider should include a red area for
  greater-than-maximum volume."
