The problem of that would be, if after you locked the BP and wanted the
volume to stay the same, you could possibly press the F key accidentally,
thus changing your volume. It might not be as serious a problem if the
volume went up only in increments, instead of full blast. Another
consideration. Wouldn't you lose as far as battery life is concerned?

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
