FR - Allow selecting outputs using the volume bar

[spbkaizo]

I tend to enable and disable audio outputs relatively often, which I achieve by the following process:

1. Click burger bar
2. Select 'Settings'
3. Select 'Remotes and Outputs'
4. Enable/Disable respective output

I'd like to be able to use the area with the volume sliders to toggle the outputs - it appears that this functionality is implemented there, but it doesn't seem as responsive or reliable as the previous method, and sometimes is a bit 'hit and miss'

In the video you can see some of the behaviour - reloading the web page will show the updated information.

@spbkaizo Thanks for having reported this. However, I tried the master version and the version 28.10, but could not reproduce your issue.
Which version are you using, and can you check if the query goes to your server?

@ejurgensen, what level of debugging should be set to check that kind of network traffic?

[ejurgensen]

If the server fails to activate/deactivate a speaker, I think it will be logged with normal log level. With debug level you can see if the server is receiving a request, but I suppose you can also see the communication between server and browser from the browser's developer tools.

As I read the issue, the buttons in the settings are working, but not those in the volume bar. That could sound like a problem with websockets, so I'm wondering what platform you are running the server on? Is it MacOS?

Btw @spbkaizo, another time please follow the instructions on how to submit issues (i.e. including version/platform info + logging).
