Thanks for the info, I've got it sorted (a little bit).
In the past I found that the AudioSessionAddPropertyListener did not
work for kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareOutputVolume, so I was
using AVSystemController_SystemVolumeDidChangeNotification, but this
event does not seem to fire with "1.0f" when changing to the LineOut
route (which I *am* observiing via AudioSessionAddPropertyListener).
Also calling AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareOutputVolume)
does not return 1.0f when in Line Out mode!!
I hacked around it by reporting a volume of 1.0f to my algorithm when
the route changes to LineOut.
