Comment 6 for bug 548543

Thanks for the suggestion. However, having a separate set of buttons for incremental volume change wouldn't be useful, because that's precisely what the slider is already for. The buttons exist to do something else, i.e. provide shortcuts to minimum and maximum volume. What they do is conveyed by their icons.

There are other ways we could help prevent hearing damage, though. One would be using tick sounds to confirm the volume level whenever you change the volume. Another would be fading up any sudden increase in volume over a second or two, to give you time to undo it.
