Its all raw maximum volume.
Jack is analogous to a hardware patch bay. You need to
connect something with a volume control to that patch
bay if you want to control level.
Which wouldn't work very well because it would have to double up the
number of connections and constantly monitor the graph, which would
mess up all sorts of things.
There's a misunderstanding here. I was pointing out that if the OP
wants volume control on a stereo output he'll have to manually add
one using a plugin or standalone jack client that does that. It's
something I've been doing for years (and the purpose for which
zita-mu1 was designed). The additional pair of connections has
never caused me a problem. (Note that I'm talking about a single
stereo monitoring output here, not suggesting adding a plugin on
every hardware output).
My analogy with a hardware patch bay was purely to help the OP
visualise things, not an approval of arbitrary restrictions.
