Henrique,

You are giving technical reasons as to why they should be different.
While likely valid, they are missing the point.

A normal user will expect that when a button labelled with an sound icon
and an up arrow is pressed, the volume will increase and there will be
OSD telling them how close to 'maximum loudness' they are at.  All I'm
asking for is that the volume keys behave the way thay they did in
Hardy/Intrepid. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than current zero
visual feedback. You can work around the double-stepping by assigning
the default mixer track (Sound settings) to control an output you don't
use (say CD).

Right now, when I look at my desktop in Jaunty, i have NO IDEA if the
volume is mute or unmute. This leads me to obsessively press the mute
button to ensure it really is mute. That's not user friendly behaviour.
