Volume control non-functional above 200%

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play video
2. Try setting volume to 250% (i.e., five-eighths of the way along the slider, 
since 400% is apparently the max)
3. Observe actual volume in VLC (or reported volume in VLC Remote; same thing.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Depends on version of VLC. 

Case A: Volume is set to 50%.  In general, trying to set volume to X results in 
volume being set to X minus 200%.

Case B: Volume is set to 200%.  In general, volume is simply clamped to a range 
between 0 and 200%.

The bug doesn't appear to be in VLC-remote, using wireshark to intercept the 
volume control command suggests that VLC-remote is behaving perfectly 
consistently.  However, when VLC receives a command to set the volume above a 
value of 512 (corresponding to 200%, presumably), it is misbehaving. 

Either way, the right-hand-half of the volume slider is unusable, which is 
unfortunate because volume settings between 200 and 400% general result in 
horrible clipping anyway.  Users should increase system volume instead in these 
cases.  I suggest simply (providing an option) to make the slider only go up to 
a maximum of 200%, allowing better fine control.  Furthermore, even the slider 
in VLC itself only visually goes to 200%, with the range up to 400% being 
accessible using the ctrl-up shortcut etc.

I know this is not useful for debugging, but an incidental huge thank-you for 
making such a wonderful app, by the way.  It's awesome!

Exact same thing as previous post.
Volume bar in app seems to have the max value at too large of a value.

When trying to change the volume over 50% of the slider it just moves back to 
50%.
