Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

There is a big problem with set the specific volume on laptop (with touchpad).
Usually when someone would like to change the volume, he know how loud volume he would like to set.
The click and grab slider is difficult by using touchpad (you must track the slider, click and hold it, and move with mouse button pressed)

If I click on beside the volume slider, the volume become higher (or lower) and goes to maximum volume.
It will be great if the volume will be increased to the place pointed by mouse.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set volume to low.
2. Click and hold on middle of the volume control.
3. The volume will increase to maximum

Proposed solution:
1. The volume should increase/decrease to the place pointed by mouse cursor

With that solution the sound indicator will be much more easy to use by handicapped people and with touchpad (on laptops).

Since this bug makes the sound menu unintuitive to use, I am confirming this as a papercut.
