Thanks for checking. I think the first part is correct -- the 
playLoudness is relative to the hardware setting. If your volume is set 
to 50% on the hardware, then a playLoudness of 100 will equal 50% 
volume. The docs sort of refer to that.

The second part sounds like a bug though. Setting playLoudness to 0 
should turn off sound, even if it's a relative setting. Zero relative to 
50% is still zero.
