Updated with this change.

Bikesheds:
* "volume" might be preferred over "avolume", since there is no
  conflict possibility.

* maybe I should change the syntax for the relative value, indeed
  avolume=2.0 is confusingly different from avolume=2, I could for
  example require to add an x (as times) to it.
  So we would have:
  avolume=2x
  for increasing volume by two.

Opinions?
