+1 !! Changing volume gets harder and harder! :-(

I remember (was it Breezy Badger?) one of my very first impressions of Ubuntu was: "Wow! Changing volume without even one click and immediately a tooltip shows the exact level in % - cool! Some releases later the popup did not show up anymore while scrolling, but only after waiting 1 sec. Then (since pulseaudio) I cannot add a second volume-applet to adjust volume of headphone jack. Later the wheel steps were decreased to tiny 1% or so, which rendered wheel support almost useless. And now (with indicator-applet) wheel support and tooltips are gone altogether. This is not good!

I think, a "Linux for human beings" deserves better. So please raise its importance and help fixing this for Lucid LTS. (see bug #523369 for missing wheel support)
