Navigation Volume in LCR 1.8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is an enhancement request. The volume for navigation which was amazingly 
high in LCR 1.7.3 is very low on LCR 1.8 (it is now the same as stock bin).

While 1.8 is amazing, I am sometimes really missing this feature from 1.7.3 (no 
joke, 1.7.3 sounded like an actual GPS).

While I love 1.8, I am seriously considering switching back to 1.7.3 because I 
tend to get lost quite often :(

Yes, I think it is really important for me too. In general text to speech 
volume seems very low.

That's about the same as what I get in my log.

Relevant part of log:

I don't know why it would load the picoTTS with English TTS, because my native 
language is Dutch and the Google Navigation gives the instructions in Dutch (it 
doesn't  use TTS since PicoTTS doesn't support Dutch). Setting the Android 
Language to English also doesn't help for the volume.

Is there any difference between the volume of Copilot Live for example and 
Google Maps Navigation? The voice of Google Maps navigation is barely audible, 
while it was audible in LCR 1.7.3 and the voice of Copilot live is normale in 
both versions, I only get a fade in at the beginning of every sound.

In LiquidF from Xian it's normal too.

and for me the voice also seems to fade in and out.

I think it supposed to fade, but it doesn't do it on my device, so the volume 
stays on the level where the fade starts.
