Ability to adjust earcon volume

Project Member Reported by lpalmaro@chromium.org, May 23 2017

Issue description

OS: Chrome

It would be helpful to add the ability to adjust the volume of the earcons, in addition to the current option of either having the earcons on or off. We could consider making the options for earcons to play them at 100%, 50% or off to give the user a bit more flexibility.

Of all of the major screen readers, I don't know of any that allow for earcon volume adjustment. If there is an issue with the mix of earcon to tts, then we should fix that. If this is related to the 3d panning, we should fix that or give an option to turn it off. For example, an earcon panned far left will be softer sounding then one that is centered. This is by design since panning is in some ways volume reduction in one channel.
