@seb128 Because upstream is thinking a better way to do this. But that won't happen in one day and require some other changes from pulseaudio, according to Bastien Nocera. Meanwhile downstream can patch it. When upstream fixes it, we will drop the patch.

In other words volume step is too high. It varies among hardware because sound card doesn't controls the whole chain such that the max db information is correct Gnome provided keyboard based solution where you have to press shift+volume-key to make it work. But it has several problem: a) On many laptops (Asus EEBook) and AIOs (Dell AIO) there is no separate volume-key. It is aggregated with function keys which doesn't work because third level and 5th level keys are broken. The key combination which are supposed to work are Fn + [F11/F12], Fn + +[Alt] + [F11/F12], Fn + +[Alt] + [win] + [F11/F12], It varies with hardware and very confusing. Because pressing [Fn] + [Shift] simply doesn't work. b) On some modern touch screen notebook there is no regular volume key. There are keys attached to the screen but those keys doesn't work with "shift". Patch: This is a very small patch which simply modify volume_step and can be easily maintained. This also makes mouse-wheel behavior synchronous with keyboard. Thanks.
