As far as I know, the main system volume (i.e. the slider in the volume applet) is the only thing that affects flite's volume. If that's all the way up, you probably can't make flite any louder. Sorry.

Other carputer solutions I have reviewed will minimize your medai app and display the gps app and alert when an action is needing to be taken (ie. turn right here). Any info on this?
Maemo Mapper currently has no interaction with media apps (or other apps, for that matter). It will still give audible notices, though, and if your media app's volume is low enough, you should be able to hear them over the sound of your music. It'd be nice if Maemo Mapper could reduce the volume of or mute entirely the media apps, but there is no code in place to do this (and I haven't investigated whether or not it is possible).
