I just tested it with powertop, it is clean. No spurious wakeups that is.
Any chance you could post the code?

The source code is here (and in the source package of the repo):

So does this basically make the volume stay at 100% when you plug in the headphones?
The reason why Nokia made it jump down, is because volume at 100% when you have headphones in is really too loud!
Is there any way I could get a version of this daemon where only phonecall volume was put to a hundred immediately on making/receiving it?
If the volume for headphones (when they're really headphones) is too low for you, I suggest investing a little more in your headphones!

I have no problem with recent recordings and I never listen at 100% (the volume of "modern" cds is far higher than old remasters), but a lot of my cds have a lower volume (and music volume cannot be raised a lot with normalizer due to clicks and distortion), so the only solution (at least for me) was to raise the volume.

The program should use almost no cpu power, it just listen to some dbus events, doing nothing.
You can try to kill the background process, then launch in a terminal the daemon manually with
And post the output.Code:/usr/sbin/volumecontroldaemon -d
Edit: There's no need to reboot the device to stop the daemon, just kill its process...
get the pid and thenCode:ps | grep volumecontroldaemon
where xxxx is the process pid.Code:kill xxxx
However, there were a few occasions where CPU usage suddenly peaked and stayed constantly at or around 100%. I checked with Conky and it showed the daemon as the source for the heavy CPU usage.
Again, this is not something that occurs frequently, just a couple of times. Still, I thought it was worth mentioning. I will try to monitor if this only happens in connection with using someplayer.

I still cannot imagine how can this be possible (there's not a single loop in all the code, how could it take 100% of the CPU?), the only thing I can think is a sequence of a lot of dbus messages (but this doesn't seem a normal situation)...
Please let me now if you notice this again or you discover something.
