Volume control for those who use SPDIF pass through or control the volume on the receiver

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With regard to the volume button with slider I really like this implementation. 
For me this wouldn't be useful, as myself some other users use digital pass 
through audio eg. SPDIF/HDMI for audio, so the volume control on the HTPC has 
no effect, so please consider option for those users who control the volume on 
the audio receiver. My current method for controling the volume is when I press 
the Vol +/- key on my MCE IR remote an application called "lmremote" detects 
this and sends an IR blast code to the audio receiver to change the volume. 
With this method I can only control +/- I can't select an absolute volume 
level. So for users who don't control the volume on the HTPC can you have an 
alternative option.

Maybe the volume button/slider can be replaced with another useful button

(or)

When you press the volume toggle button it gives you three buttons at the 
button Vol + | Mute | Vol - . Option in the MP remote plugin to either
1. send MCE code or
2. run an external batch file with each button press.
3. send keystroke

Yes, I can implement an alternative (relative) volume control (+/-) and add an 
option to run an external command.

I'll have a look at it once all the basic features are done.
