(By "used" I presume you mean "removed"?)

Yes, yes, typo/brainfart, I meant -aop. But when scanning through the
man page for "volume" when I wanted to do something similar recently,
the first relevant thing I saw was the -aop entry, and since that does
work (despite the clunky syntax) I hadn't looked farther.

At first glance it looks like the -aop version gives more fine-grained
control of volume changes, but I understand the basic reasoning behind
the plugins removal and I don't plan to object to it.
