Thanks.

Is 0.3.49 the version of pipewire?　If so, it is too old.
Mine is 0.3.80 (tyhough self-built).

BTW.

DCR>  It looks like it can be used in a similar manner with
"set-volume ID VOL", so something like

DCR>  $ set-volume 45 .25

DCR>  works!

I think the correct way to set it up is like this.

  $ wpctl set-volume 45 .25

But, I still can't figure out 0.25.

I think it's normal to set the volume in percentage.

I don't have any problem in my environment.
