Description
Important Information
Provide following Information:
- mpv version: https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/releases/tag/5.4.8.0
- Windows Version: 10 x64 20H2
- Source of the mpv
binarylibrary: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/mpv-dev-x86_64-20210228-git-d1be8bb.7z/download - If known which version of mpv introduced the problem: This is a Feature request, so maybe this was missing from the beginning
Reproduction steps
Windows offers the touchpad setting "Scrolling Direction: Down motion scrolls up"

If this is enabled, scrolling up/down in mpv to change volume is wrong:
Expected behavior
- Motion "Scroll Down": should decrease the volume
- Motion "Scroll Up": should increase the volume
Actual behavior
- Motion "Scroll Down": actually increases the volume
- Motion "Scroll Up": actually decreases volume
Log file
I could not create this with mpv.net. I hope this is needed for my feature request.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Windows touchpad scroll events reach volume adjustment in mpv, then compare that handling with the system's “Scrolling Direction: Down motion scrolls up” setting. Verify the change with scroll-up and scroll-down gestures while the setting is enabled; done means scroll down decreases volume and scroll up increases it.
