I am the reporter of the bug 359478 duplicate. I observe the same behavior as described above, on my ThinkPad T40 running the Jaunty pre-release.

The visual feedback is extremely useful. I do consider the Jaunty behavior a regression, because the visual feedback used to work great in previous versions (e.g. 8.04 and 8.10), and now it does not appear at all.

IF the choice is to have visual feedback and have the two volume control systems linked and have double stepping, OR to have no double-stepping and no linkage, THEN the old behavior, with the double-stepping, was far superior, in my opinion. From my perspective, double-stepping was definitely the lesser of two evils.
