On the standard volume control popup does anyone know what the Play
Control, Wave, Line In sliders represent in terms of dB? ie what the
max (and min?) are?

Undefined. The window you see is just the generic MS
Win code which passes values to the sound sub-system.
It is up to the sound drivers and hardware to interperet
the level setting values to whatever. And that is typically
undefined, also.

Even if you characterized them, since there are no practical
markings nor any numbers to see, you would have no way
of adjusting any of the controls to any particular setting
anyway. Why do you ask?

They appear to behave as linear pots, ie. half way down is within a
furlong and a half of -6 dB.

But everything audio in windows seems to me to be left undocumented. I
was at a pre-intro of some new OS that comes out real soon now, the guys
that demoed it carefully mentioned that it was law-obedient, but were
igoorant about the treatment of premium content, it appeared however to
be the first time they ever encountered that magic wording. Sad, because
I had hoped they could explain it ...
