- Sets the volume.
- Where \a volume is between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive.
+ Sets the output volume to \a volume.
+
+ The volume is scaled linearly from \c 0.0 (silence) to \c 1.0 (full volume). Values outside this
+ range will be clamped.
+
+ The default volume is \c 1.0.
+
Note: Adjustments to the volume will change the volume of this audio stream, not the global volume.
+
+ UI volume controls should usually be scaled nonlinearly. For example, using a logarithmic scale
+ will produce linear changes in perceived loudness, which is what a user would normally expect
+ from a volume control. See QAudio::convertVolume() for more details.
