Hey,

Love this app, it's really awesome. I have 1 question, when playing to my homepod mini, the audio level is always 0 (off) as soon as i connect and play. I can see that from the generated config file there are 2 common options.

<volume_feedback>1></volume_feedback>
<volume_mode>2</volume_mode>

What does these 2 mean and what options are there to e.g. keep last audio level from the homepod?

volume_mode is the method used to control volume. 2 is to use the AirPlay volume command, 1 is to use software volume inside SpotRaop (not recommended).

Now, the volume should be restored upon connection. THere might be something specific to HomePod mini, but I don't have these unfortunately so I can't test
