Noise limiters?

I thought there was an EU ruling on the allowed noise output level on portable devices designed to be used with headphones. But today, right now, I'm not so sure. There's a guy on the train with his headphones up so loudly that the surrounding seat occupants can clearly hear the plastic casing rattling with each of the bass noises, never mind the full lyrics and usual tinny top end white noise. Amazing stuff. I guess there goes another candidate for premature deafness. Ah. Either his 'music' collection has just run out, or the battery. Yay.

Heh. I know that on Creative music players, there is a volume limiter for European ones, but there's a way to disable it because it's just software-based.
