you use what gets displayed.  /dev/volume
shows speed in hz so you use hz.   the volume
levels are in fact percentages.

/dev/volume speaks the language it understands.
echo -n speed 22050 >/dev/volume does
what you were trying to do.

the behavior you are seeing are very weird,
but probably just bugs in untested code paths.
