That makes sense, yes, and I knew that there are perfectly good reasons
for using decibels rather than percentages (although if memory serves,
which it may not, the decibel notation allows for less fine-grained
control... because -af volume=20 gives me volume comparable to if not
higher than -aop list=volume:volume=200, although admittedly it's
unlistenably distorted when playing that loud through my speakers).
That's why that part of the whole thing was in the way of a
parenthetical end-note, albeit a comparatively large one.
