Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
The MAX9744 amplifier allows for digital volume control with I2C commands:

**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.

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.
