What is the proper usage, purpose, or ranges of the .Volume property in SlimDX.DirectSound.SoundBuffer?
(for example, i'm learning that i can't set the .volume to 500)
Does it eleminate attenuation or does it just increase the general volume and thus increase the range the sound can be herd from?

Links welcome.

	Public Sub PlaySound(ByVal description As String, ByVal X As Double, ByVal Y As Double, ByVal Z As Double, Optional ByVal MyVolume As Integer = 500)
		Dim Temp As Integer
		description = UCase(description)
		Temp = SoundList.FindIndex(Function(value As SoundListDefinition)
									   Return value.Description = description
								   End Function)
		Dim SoundBufferEntryCopy As New SoundListDefinition
		Device.DuplicateSoundBuffer(SoundList(Temp).Buffer, SoundBufferEntryCopy.Buffer)
		SoundBufferEntryCopy.Buffer.Volume = MyVolume

		Dim t As New Thread(DirectCast(Sub() PlayStoredSoundBuffer(SoundBufferEntryCopy, X, Y, Z), ThreadStart))
		t.Start()
	End Sub
