Some programs like Skype trying to set capture volume automatically. Normally it will tray, carefully step by step lover or higher, set the volume. In real word it work not really well, because devises and vendors lie about real audio settings. For example most Logitech webcams have 6400 or 3500 steps for capture volume. They do not tell that actual resolution is 384. So we have only 7 or 18 real steps. In this patch I set real resolution only for tested devices.
