I noticed that volume control in VLC 2.0 is much different from 1.1 or earlier.
So 50% from old VLC equals ~80% of new one.
Maybe it's logarithmic...

Anyone can help with writing a mathematical equation to convert 2.0 volume level to old classic?

I think it is cubic scale.

Sorry for stupid question, but $new=$old^3 or $new=exp(ln($old)/3) (where $new and $old 0.01..1.00)?
