on the, ipod touch, I can do this by double tapping the home button, regardless of the application I'm in; It displays a pop up window with with the volume control. On the iPhone, this works only when I'm playing music. Is there a quick way to change the volume when not playing music on the iPhone?
 
Haha, I was responding while you were editing.

In a game, you can use the volume buttons on the side
 
There needs to be a "universal volume control" app. One that gives you access to ALL of the volume controls available. Context-sensitive controls are nice: when I use the headphone jack for my car, the volume jumps up to its previously set level.

What would be better is to allow profiles. So "car" would set the headphone jack, AND "ringer (headphone)" to a certain level. But a "headphone" profile would let me set something different.

This would also allow for a "silence" profile, as the hardware switch for the ringer doesn't seem to silence the games/music.

This was to be my awesome app idea, but I don't have a Mac yet. But the need is greater than the length of time it will take me to get a Mac and learn iPhone development - so maybe someone else can write it? :p

hmm.... I suppose I should have tried that before I asked.

but what if I wanted to switch between output sources during a game - e.g. between the speaker and a headset?

The volume buttons change the volume of the front most application. If it's the springboard/app pages, it'll change the ringer volume.

Not sure about bluetooth headset controls. But if you're using the headphone jack, that's always going to be output.

Apple would have to incorporate that into the iPhone OS. Unless it were destined for jailbroken devices, and it might already be a solution available in that case.
 
only other option

unlock the phone SBsettings has a add on for changing volume. :D

When you are in a bluetooth call or while you have the bluetooth headset active, the volume keys on the side will adjust the bluetooth volume output by the phone.

but it doesn't! That's the strangest part! My bluetooth headset is a Sony HSH-IS800 if that matters
