Volume change via hardware not working in lock screen #787

First off, nice responsive software. Generally works great.

No to my main pain point. It is pretty standard to be able to adjust the volume using the hardware rocker when the screen is locked. I am running Squeezer 2.3.1 on a Pixel 3a using Android 12 and this doesn't work and I can't find any kind of option/permission that might be preventing this. I would appreciate knowing if this should be working and if so what I can try to get it working, or if it is not yet implemented. Thanks!

Alright so I have discovered the issue with Sonos sueing Google. What a mess. Is there any possibility of a workaround for example using the buttons to trigger direct LMS sever CLI commands instead of (I'm guessing) using Android volume APIs or maybe going roundabout with Home Assistant? Another possible thing would be a slider widget for the lockscreen. It still wouldn't be as convenient as the rocker, but way better than having to do a full unlock and navigation to the app.
