Feature Request: Add cue volume control via OSC messages #360

Description

@Thomas-Bringolf

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Currently, volume control cues in Linux Show Player require manually setting fixed volume values or fades. I want to use a physical interface with play/pause buttons and volume faders per cue for more intuitive control.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to send volume values via OSC messages to dynamically control volume cues. Ideally, this would be implemented as a “Set volume” action in the Cue settings page under “Cue Control” → “OSC Controls.” This action would accept an integer argument where 0 corresponds to 0% volume and the max. integer value corresponds to 100% volume.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, the only way to simulate dynamic volume control via OSC is by creating multiple action cues with fixed volume levels, which is not flexible or scalable.

Additional context
Adding this feature would enable smoother integration with external control surfaces or OSC-enabled apps, improving live performance workflows.

Additional note:
Of course, I’ve tried experimenting on my own but got nowhere. I struggled to get the program running, and as I dug deeper into the code, I realized I don’t yet have enough understanding of the app’s architecture to implement this feature myself. That’s why I’m kindly requesting it here.

Thanks in advance for your time and help!
