Use pulseaudio native volume management about librespot HOT 4 CLOSED

I'd like to see this for the ALSA backend, too!

Using pulseaudio's volume control requires using the asynchronous pulseaudio API instead of the "simple" API. This is very complex, since nobody has done this in Rust yet. I have started a prototype for a pulseaudio API binding for tokio, but haven't worked on it for a while now.

I'd really like to see the native volume management being used as well. I'm aware of the API change using PulseAudio and its necessary effort, though..

#685 implements what you ask for (logarithmic and cubic mappings, transparently for all backends), without the need to implement the asynchronous PulseAudio API.

If you feel like you don't want bits touched by volume controls in several places, then either set librespot or PulseAudio volume fixed to 100% and it will bypass touching any samples.
