IMHO, apps should not be able to change the system volume... They might
have a slider inside which then adjusts their own sounds relative to the
current system value, but in no way an app should be able to change
another app's volume.

Example: If I set the system's multimedia volume to 50%, those 50%
should the maximum for all apps. Inside apps, they can have sliders if
they want to, but setting them to 100% should give the current 50% of
the system volume, setting them to 50% would then end up playing at 25%
of what the system supports.
