Would be nice, if this can be implemented. This would allow to slowly increase the buzzer volume, when the buzzer starts playing and waking up would be more smoothly.

That should be quite doable.
When the Ft (Volume Fading Time) parameter is set on the player block, the Miniserver already sends a similar command when the buzzer is triggered:

audio/grouped/buzzer/38/?q&ZmFkaW5nJmZhZGluZ1RpbWU9MTIw

The text after the ? is a Base64-encoded string that decodes to:

fading&fadingTime=120

This means we already receive the fade time value.
We can easily use this fadingTime parameter to gradually increase the buzzer volume over the defined duration, resulting in a smoother fade-in effect when the buzzer starts playing.

This should now work in the latest 3.0.0 release. Please start with a fresh config and let me know the results.
