After working with the DTA100 I discovered that it *does* have internal 
volume and mute controls. Here's a revised lirc config that adds the 
Volume Up and Volume Down buttons.

# This remote also has power and volume buttons. You can program these
# to control your TV. But this unit *does* have internal volume and mute
# controls. The power button, however, is only for your TV and has no
# effect on the DTA.
#
# Generated by starting with the generic XMP protocol configuration:

# and then using irrecord to add the keys.

# V.2 - Added volup and voldown
