Previously when we were running spotifyd, Spotify volume controls functioned
spotifyd decayed over time so we swapped to go-librespot, which does support volume changes but they sound notably worse than the same implementation in spotifyd so we made the decision to deactivate Spotify side volume support for now
This is while we await go-librespot's development so that they reach a point where we can have volume propagation, a feature that will allow us to merge the volume of Spotify and AmpliPi on those streams, making it so that they move as a single unit rather than requiring users to use both the Spotify and amplipi volume sliders to dial in their volume properly.
For devs, this issue is:
- Keep an eye on go-librespot's development
- add volume propagation functionality with go-librespot once available
