-volume should have preference, otherwise you break e.g. per-file config
files with -volume in it.
It also allows disabling this new feature by specifying -volume on the
commandline.
However, it might be a good idea to add a flag to the AOs so we don't do
this for AOs that also prefer it on their own, possible in a more
intelligent way (pulseaudio, to a degree OSS...).
