[jawsscripts] System and Application Volume Control?

I really appreciate the separate control of each application's volume  level  
in Vista.  But I continually wish I had quick control over the current 
application without effecting JAWS.  I know there is a program on the 
jaws-users page to do this type of thing, but I had no success with it in 
Vista.  I attempted to write simple JAWS scripts to merge with the default 
scripts to set the system volume and then readjust the JAWS volume with the 
built-in functions.  Unfortunately, the 
SetSystemVolume function seems only to set the level of the JAWS voice level 
within what is set in the System Tray volume mixer for the JAWS application.It 
has no effect on the system volume level in the volume mixer or the volume 
level of any other application!  


Is anyone aware of a Vista compatible application that can set hotkeys to 
adjust the current application's volume?  Or any program that can do this 
through a command line interface?  As far as I know, the volume mixer program, 

"sndvol", does not accept parameters.  In that case, I could manipulate the 
application's volume from a  script using the Run function.  Or perhaps someone 
in this group knows JAWS scripts or functions I am not aware of yet?
