Replace the volume popup with a more subtle way to display the volume when the user changes it with the volume rocker.

#Why and how The iOS default popover showing the volume status that appears when the user clicks the volume rocker is a big obtrusive glossy view that covers the content shown. This library offers a way to show a more subtle indicator.
To make sure that the popover is not shown there are two conditions that need to be satisfied:

• An AVAudioSession needs to be active
• An MPVolumeView needs to be in the current view's hierarchy, and its alpha needs to be greater than 0

Once a SubtleVolume is added to your view, an audio session is automatically started, and the view's alpha is set to 0.0001 in the hidden state.

#Getting Started Create an instance of SubtleVolume with one of its convenience initializers, and set its position (you can either set the frame or let autolayout handle it):

let volume = SubtleVolume(style: .Plain)
volume.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 10, width: view.frame.size.width, height: 4)

Set the barTintColor property:

volume.barTintColor = .redColor()

Set the animation type if needed (no animation will result in the indicator being always visible):

volume.animation = .SlideDown

Add the view to your hierarchy:

view.addSubview(volume)

#WIP This is currently in development, feedback is really welcome.

#TODO

• implement styles
• provide better samples
• add test coverage
