+	This code works by using CaptureComponent to capture the "Default Output" audio component
+	(kAudioUnitType_Output/kAudioUnitSubType_DefaultOutput) and delegating all calls to the original component.
+	It does this just to keep track of all instances of the default output component, so that it can set the
+	kHALOutputParam_Volume parameter on all of them to adjust the output volume.
