Bug Description
A handy feature of music players is the ability to quickly skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons. This allows users to control their music without having to take the device out of their pocket, turn its screen on, unlock it, go to the music app and press "Next".
As of now, when I long press the volume button, it rapidly increases the volume, which is not very nice to my ears ;-)
Is it possible to control the music app this way on Ubuntu phone?
Music app version tested: 2.2.910 (2015-09-03)
Device: Meizu MX 4
System info: Ubuntu 15.04 (r4)

Hi Pierre, thanks for taking the time to file this bug and for making Ubuntu better! I think this feature could be considered. First and foremost, however, I really do think that holding the volume up button should not cause the volume to increase that rapidly.
I'm not sure who else to assign to this bug, so I'm going to add the Ubuntu UX team and Media Hub.
