I just compared the different ways to change master volume and found that it is a bit messy: using the scroll wheel I need...
* 7 spins on the volume icon
* 4 spins on the slider of its menu
* 2 spins on the topmost slider of the audio settings window
...to change volume from 0% to 100%.
Like marmuta I'd prefer about 3 spins. Adjusting wheel step size with gconf would be nice-to-have. But it's the default step size that counts for most users!
BTW: while the mouse is over the slider in the menu of the volume icon, pressing +/- on the keyboard changes the volume much faster than if the focus is on the slider of the audio settings window. And the +/- keys of the numeric keypad have no effect at all.
