Dear Maintainer,

========================================================================

After upgrading xfce4 (from 0.5.4-1 to 0.8.0-2) and xfce4 (from 4.10.1
to 4.12.1), I found that most keyboard multimedia keys still work when
parole is playing a playlist (pause/play/stop, advance track, rewind
track).

However, the volume key only lowers the volume but never raises it.
I verified this by checking the volume in pavucontrol, where parole ends
up in silence (eventually) and raising the volume key does nothing.

This behavior affects only parole 0.8.0-2. It did not happen with the
earlier parole 0.5.4-1 and it does not happen after the upgrade with
other music players, including xine and amarok.

This is actually a great inconvenience as it's nice to run parole
minimized and be able to change volume using only the keyboard.
