[Bug 45743] Re: Volume hotkeys increase volume faster than they reduce it

[Paul Sladen]

This one isn't related to the interaction with the hardware-mixer on
ThinkPads.  It's related to there being far too many notches to ramp the
volume up and not enough to ramp it down.

For reference, Apple have 16 steps on Mac OSX.  IBM have 14 steeps on
the ThinkPads.  Twelve is not enough and thirty-two is too many.

In an ideal world I'd just set these back to (a) be the same, (b) both
be sixteen.  The Mute button is there for anyone who wants a quick
solution to turn the music down and this is the only argument I've heard
in favour of the unbalanced volume weighting.

No other piece of software I've come across has this functionality, so
while it is novel and probably unique;  I'm not sure that it should be
deployed out-of-the-box.
