From ae64f29930e1fc86b8abd3b71a1335912511e751 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2013 08:53:04 +0200 Subject: options: fix --volume option range, add some explanations to manpage The --volume option accepted values up to 10000, but internally, the value is always clipped to 0-100 range. What makes this even worse is that --softvol-max suggests that it extends the range of --volume, which is not the case. (And passing a volume larger than 100 to --volume didn't even print a warning.) --- DOCS/man/en/options.rst | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'DOCS/man/en') diff --git a/DOCS/man/en/options.rst b/DOCS/man/en/options.rst index 45842ec7b4..15fea36bd6 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/en/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/en/options.rst @@ -1952,6 +1952,12 @@ current level.
