Description

### Feature Description

The idea is to have a single place (taskbar, top bar) where I can:
• Adjust system output volume
• Adjust microphone input volume
• Control volumes of multiple running applications individually
• Change audio input/output devices quickly

Research direction

Start by reviewing how DankMaterialShell currently exposes taskbar or top-bar controls and how it accesses audio devices; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Define the scope for system, microphone, per-application, and device controls, then verify that the finished feature supports the requested volume and device changes across all listed compositors.
