Finding my current volume setting

[Swifty]

I have an application, wizmo.exe from GRC.com, which amongst other
things allows me to set my volume from 0% to 100%, and I use this in
scripts. So there must be some generic interface to the volume control
that wizmo is using.

Is this interface "write-only" or is there anything around that can
*read* the current volume setting and report it to me?

I have a keystroke which can increase or decrease the volume by 1% but
it has to do this by remembering what it set last time. If anything else
changes the volume then my application is lost, and it will reset it to
1% away from where it left it, not where it is now.

Already done, but in the meantime? …

This might be a suitable project for my budding "C" skill, once I've
managed to get the "hello.c" program working.
