+/* Sets the volume ramp variables for the AudioMixer.
+ *
+ * The volume ramp variables are used to transition between the previous
+ * volume to the target volume.  The duration of the transition is
+ * set by ramp, which is either 0 for immediate, or typically one state
+ * framecount period.
+ *
+ * @param newValue new volume target in U4.12.
+ * @param ramp number of frames to increment over. ramp is 0 if the volume
+ * should be set immediately.
+ * @param volume reference to the U4.12 target volume, set on return.
+ * @param prevVolume reference to the U4.27 previous volume, set on return.
+ * @param volumeInc reference to the increment per output audio frame, set on return.
+ * @return true if the volume has changed, false if volume is same.
