That module looks suspiciously like one I have laying around on my 
computer. That's okay since I had posted it somewhere. Try setting 
SPEAKER_LINE_FADER_ID to 0. Apparently my assumption that it is always 0 
was wrong. If that works I have a more flexible version of the module 
which actually searches for the speak line fader id. It also has a 
GetSpeakerVolume function.
