+ <opt>none</opt> option, which is useful when you want to use a

<p>With the flat volume feature enabled, the sink HW volume is set
to the same level as the highest volume input stream. Any other streams
cause the resulting output sound to be momentarily too loud or too soft.
So to ensure SW and HW volumes are applied concurrently without any
glitches, their application needs to be synchronized. The sink

parameters can be used to refine the process.</p>
