Did we? Last I remember, you wanted a new function (set_local_volume()), and
Bob and I wanted this function to change and a new function,
set_system_volume()?, to be implemented, but we never actually agreed on
which...
But it's two against one ;)

If you can make sure it gets called in all cases, crash or not, then go for
it - but isn't there a local-to-the-application MIDI volume you can use in
the Windows API? In the worst case you could modify all channel volumes or
something...
It would also be nice if DIGMID volume could be independent of digital
volume...
