Don't you think it would feel more natural to map 100% to unity gain
(0dB) ? At least it would to me, but I'm am no reference.
Yes, I agree... but I also prefer to see dB. :-)
I wanted some amplification available. Meanwhile the
non-techie musicians I know would be confused by seeing +2.1
dB or 162%.

Having 0 dB at 85% is something I see common in the
industry (e.g. alsa, mixer consoles)... so I chose that
mapping.
