Bob may be referring to bumping the volume rocker while something is
playing that will respond to that rocker.

That being said, the current volume control API seems skewed towards
helping apps that are trying to make persistent changes to the volume. I
can envision a class of apps -- games, for example -- that might need a
transient change to the volume, solely while their app is running.
Having something in the framework that would support that, so apps don't
accidentally screw up the volume due to coding bugs, might be handy.
