I would like to see some way of limiting volume for music and videos.

I'm talking about an automatic volume limiter like Ipod has on their Ipods that sets the max limit. The remote or controller requires the user to manually adjust volume.

some televisions also allow an upper volume limit to be set. Then, when a loud commercial comes on, the user won't hear it any louder than what it is set at.

Basically, kind of like SMartsound on Magnavox tv's. Or Night theatre mode on Sony receivers, as well and 'Dynamic Sound Compression Level" on most receivers. It limits the max volume level, and boosts the volume level on low levels. So it stays mostly the same volume level. No LoUd surprises, yet also nothing soft enough to have to turn up the volume to hear. Works great.
Might be too much to add to XBMC.

XBMC already has dynamic range compression on the video OSD.
Combined with normal volume control to limit the maximum, I can't see what else you need.
Cheers,
Jonathan

hmm, I see the option in the Music settings for a limit but not in the Video settings. I'm using a XBMC December Pimped version.

I didn't either, i build xbmc daily.
i saw this thread when posting and dont consider mp3 normalizing to be the same as being able to adjust ac3 channels.
