Years ago (in Dapper or so) the yellow popup immediately appeared as soon as the volume changed by scrolling the mouse wheel. That was good enough for me. Now when moving the mouse over the icon I have to wait for the popup because it won't appear as long as the mouse wheel scrolls - this is annoying.
So I vote for changing this bug from Wishlist to a Low prio bug, add it as a papercut for Lucid and re-implement the behavior of Dapper.
