I ran a quick 10 minute test playing tracks from Amazon Music HD and am not able to repro. The volume of the receiver stays at 0dB from track to track.
The Airplay renderer (shairport-sync) is session based which means the following:
- Just prior to starting play it executes an "pre" event script that sets the volume to 0dB
- When play stops it waits for up to "active_state_timeout" number of seconds before ending the session and executing the "post" event script which resets volume to its original value.
- The default value for "active_state_timeout" is 10 s
- There is another timeout named "Session timeout" which is configurable via Audio Config, EDIT Airplay config. It defaults to 120 seconds and handles the condition where the music source disappears (network issue, phone turned off). The 10 sec "active_state_timeout" will still occur but this setting is supposed to maintain the session in case the music source comes back online.
