Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
The MAX9744 amplifier allows for digital volume control with I2C commands:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1752

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
Create a Media Player with more power than the board provided by Raspiaudio (this will do 20W compared with the 5W from Raspiaudio amp).

Note it does not have a DAC so this would support only the volume control functions of Media Player. It's for hooking up to another device playing stereo line level audio.

**Additional context**

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the MAX9744 product link and the requested I2C volume-control behavior; done means a media player can control volume through the amplifier while leaving DAC and audio playback outside this integration.
