I started working on a patch where I wanted to control the system volume on a Windows machine. It seems like the best way to accomplish that is through mxj java object and using either ring_keyPress or autobot. However, looking around I can't seem to find the magic number to put into them that translate into "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" keys.

I have physical volume up and down buttons on my machine. Using the 'key' object, I can see that those buttons come out as key presses: 8 and 11. However, putting 8 and 11 into the keyPress/autobot Java objects doesn't seem to work. I spent a bunch of time looking to see if I'm getting the ASCII to Int (and the reverse) correct, playing with both java classes, throwing a bunch of numbers at them, all to no success so far.

I know volume control seems to have been tackled with Mac OSX. But has anyone done something similar for Windows? Any help or insight would be appreciated.
