Many people want at least a master volume for the panel. IIRC somebody found a solution, it's somewhere in the Ubuntu Studio users or dev archives. My recommendation is to keep a fixed master volume. Sane volume control is done by the apps and by the external gear, e.g. an amplifier. I suspect that laptops have knobs to adjust the volume too. There's a sane operating range for the output level of an audio card. It's not wise to misuse this level adjustment as volume control.
