Convenience getter/setter exposing the master volume on the 0-100 scale the Windows volume mixer uses, wrapping Get/SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar so users don't reach for the decibel based SetMasterVolumeLevel by mistake. The setter clamps values to the valid range. Includes a runnable example, a unit test, and README/CHANGELOG updates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…llback volume_percent (merged AndreMiras/pycaw#109) exposes the 0-100 master volume directly; use it when the installed pycaw provides it and fall back to the existing GetMasterVolumeLevelScalar()*100 path on older releases so the autostart server never crashes on an outdated pycaw. No behaviour change today (current PyPI pycaw 20251023 lacks the property); picks up the property automatically once a pycaw release ships it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closes #13, where percentage based volume control was requested and a PR was invited — this adds it as a small convenience on
AudioDevice.What
AudioDevice.volume_percentproperty (getter/setter) exposing the master volume on the 0–100 scale the Windows volume mixer uses, wrappingGetMasterVolumeLevelScalar()/SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar(). The setter clamps out-of-range values.examples/master_volume_percent_example.py— runnable example (reads, sets to 50 %, restores).Why
The dB based
SetMasterVolumeLevel()vs. scalar confusion is a recurring stumbling block for pycaw users (see #13); a discoverablevolume_percentnext toEndpointVolumemakes the common case obvious without changing any existing API.Verification
Tested on Windows 11, Python 3.12.10, real hardware (TOPPING USB DAC):
