Hi
It's been a while since I last brought this up, so it's time to complain
again :)
set_volume() should not set the global volume on multitasking OSs. It should
set a volume local to the application. The global mixer volumes (as in
Windows Volume Control) should only ever be changed when the user directly
requests it; otherwise Allegro progs tend to max them out and break the
user's speakers.
Last time I brought this up, I was told that set_volume() is doing what the
docs says so there isn't a problem. Sooo, why don't we change the docs? ;)
And don't break the API by renaming the function either ;D
