Hello,

MainVolume actually IS in use in Jolla. But, as mentioned on that page 
the D-Bus API is not in session/system-bus, but in PulseAudio 
peer-to-peer bus (PA implementation detail). So in order to use the 
MainVolume API, you'll need to connect to the PulseAudio peer-to-peer 
bus first. There are links on that page that explain how it is done.

Here is simple example in Python how to use MainVolume:
