Playback problem : Gnome Volume control no working correctly : only 3 levels : 0, low, middle and high

[Didier Misson]

Strangly, I was working correctly in U 10.04 Beta !
Problem occurs in 10.04 RC.

Sound is clear (no distortion), but I can't modify the volume correctly.
Problem both with mouse and with keyboard :
on the left of the "volume line", volume go directly for 0, low, middle, and high...

If I use the "volume keys" on my multimedia keyboard, I can press Volume+
I have 18 step with "Volume+ key" :
0 no sound
1 low
2 middle
3 high
4 high
5 high
...
17 high
18 high

...

No confortable.
And it was working in 10.04 Beta !
