We had this volume - voice-bug posted

   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2011-03/msg00146.html

and when mapping instrument <-> channel instead of staff <-> channel
(or voice <-> channel and get ports to work), this makes changing
the volume of two similar sounding voices impossible.

To my surprise, I found out that this note on velocity was not being
used.  We'll have to see what volume changes should go where exactly.
I note that some suggestions have been made, and I look forward to
any patches to back them up.

I'm not removing anything just yet until we find a good way to
test these things or get some more info.

Jan.
