Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Thank you for your work! I use this bot to provide ambient sound during rpg sessions.

I would like to be able to control the volume a bit more dynamically.

So using a macro it would be nice if we could use something like this to increase the current volume level by 10.
$volume +10

### What is your ideal solution to the problem?

Add code to detect current volume level and if +/- is used as a qualifier on the parameter increase or decrease the volume level accordingly.

### How would this feature be used?

Better dynamic control of the volume to change mood.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing volume command, its argument parsing, and the audio volume-control entry point. Trace how the current level is read and changed, then verify that relative values such as `$volume +10` and negative adjustments produce the intended result without exceeding valid volume limits.
