To pile onto Frank's comment, the taper algorithm for XP RTM, XP SP2 and Win7
are all different (I don't remember if Vista and Win7 have different tapers).
The IAudioEndpointVolume::SetMasterVolumeLeveldB API is guaranteed to *not*
apply a taper; it's the only API (other than directly setting
KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_VOLUMELEVEL directly) which is guaranteed not to apply a
taper. And of course that assumes that the audio driver isn't applying its own
taper (unfortunately we've found external drivers which do that).

Since the "feel" of a taper is a somewhat subjective thing, and there's
possibility of tweaks/adjustments/improvements in this in different releases of
Windows, the taper function is not documented. Otherwise apps might start
taking dependencies on it and eventually cause compatibility challenges.

Interesting. Would it be to much to ask for the taper parameters ? Note that I
cannot rely on IAudioEndpointVolume as my implementation must work from XP
onwards.
