Description

The mixer currently supports scrolling up on a control to get volumes higher than 100%, but it would be nice to have a toggle in the mixer to adapt the scales to an above-100 maximum.

Research direction

Start by locating the mixer control implementation and the existing scrolling behavior that permits volumes above 100%. Trace how the mixer scales are calculated and how controls are built, then define the toggle's UI and verify that enabling it exposes an above-100 maximum while disabling it preserves the current scale.
