Summary

Changed default behavior of volume boost PR to allow volume boost using keyboard/mouse wheel

  • Reproducible bug fix
  • UI glitch/bug fix
  • Behavior bug/regression fix
  • Small maintenance only, with no UI or behavior change

Why

Judging by Discord, this is a controversial topic.
At first I was against it, but after checking out MPV and VLC players, they both have this behaviour by default, where user can go beyond 100% freely and without being alerted.
