<div class="refsect2">
<a name="id-1.2.6.19.10.2"></a><p>
This interface is implemented by elements that provide a stream volume. Examples for
such elements are <span class="type">volume</span> and <span class="type">playbin</span>.
</p>
<p>
Applications can use this interface to get or set the current stream volume. For this
the "volume" <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobjectgobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject-struct"><span class="type">GObject</span></a> property can be used or the helper functions <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-gststreamvolume.html#gst-stream-volume-set-volume" title="gst_stream_volume_set_volume ()"><code class="function">gst_stream_volume_set_volume()</code></a>
and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-gststreamvolume.html#gst-stream-volume-get-volume" title="gst_stream_volume_get_volume ()"><code class="function">gst_stream_volume_get_volume()</code></a>. This volume is always a linear factor, i.e. 0.0 is muted
1.0 is 100%. For showing the volume in a GUI it might make sense to convert it to
a different format by using <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-gststreamvolume.html#gst-stream-volume-convert-volume" title="gst_stream_volume_convert_volume ()"><code class="function">gst_stream_volume_convert_volume()</code></a>. Volume sliders should usually
use a cubic volume.
Separate from the volume the stream can also be muted by the "mute" <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobjectgobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject-struct"><span class="type">GObject</span></a> property or
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-gststreamvolume.html#gst-stream-volume-set-mute" title="gst_stream_volume_set_mute ()"><code class="function">gst_stream_volume_set_mute()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-gststreamvolume.html#gst-stream-volume-get-mute" title="gst_stream_volume_get_mute ()"><code class="function">gst_stream_volume_get_mute()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Elements that provide some kind of stream volume should implement the "volume" and
"mute" <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobjectgobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject-struct"><span class="type">GObject</span></a> properties and handle setting and getting of them properly.
The volume property is defined to be a linear volume factor.
