Maybe (also?) start said poll here in an own "Cabbie 2.0" thread in the forums?

crzyboyster:
A c200 version has been started as well (if I remember correctly) and that should be added to the wiki page, too. Also, what about the gigabeat version?

EDIT: I should probably hold my horses, the wiki page is still being made at the moment...

ZincAlloy:
I think the playback status is useful. It can be a good indicator wether rockbox has crashed or not ;)
As for numerical volume: I consciously dropped the numerical indicators in favour of  more fancy looking icons, so that all indicators feature the same design (style wins over substance - bad approach, I know). The volume indicator won't tell anything about the absolute volume as long as you're not using replay gain, anyway.

karashata:
I think the wiki page is about as cleaned up and complete as I can get it, though I would like to ask the person who uploaded the Nano theme there to please move it to the Nano's WPS gallery page and I'll make a link to the images and the place on the gallery page in the DefaultWPS wiki page, for the sake of consistency.

Llorean:
It's not absolute volume: that's dependent on headphones, external amp, etc.

It's about specific relative volume. If I know -20db is as loud as I should be going, then even in a loud environment I'll stop at -20 even if I can't hear the audio as well. Or I'll at least be cautious going over it.

As well, setting the volume for playback in my car is best at -12db with my audio replaygained. The tape adapter may or may not distort after this, varying by song, and of course the higher I go the more likely I'll get distortion but -12 is in my experimentation an absolute maximum that distortion will occur at. So I need to, again, know the exact level I'm at.

The list of instances where having a precise, instead of approximate, volume indicator can be extrapolated from this, but of course the benefit isn't obvious unless you actually have uses for it.

So please, don't tell me "it doesn't tell you anything absolute" just because you don't use it.
