Describe the bug
General issue described during the LUG Bug-A-Thon.

If the source media has a very low volume, it might become very limiting for some clients since their maximum volume will be very low.

Perhaps we can make use of the functionality mentioned in https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2013-April/014672.html and specifically https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#volumedetect, and perhaps warn the user, or even increase the volume.

Has this been looked into? audio boost is a good option to have.

Not even just low volume media. Many laptops don't have very high volume in general. However VLC does the volume, perhaps compression, where you can turn it up to 200 percent is how every app should do it. VLC is the only app loud enough for watching things on my laptop.
