Bug Description

I want the mouse scroll to scroll the volume up and down, not the time forward and back. This is a non-standard behavior that I consider to be a BUG within Totem, and I preferentially use VNC because of this BUG.

Fix it so mouse scroll controls volume instead of time please.

To control the volume by scrolling the mouse wheel you need to hold the mouse pointer over the volume icon.

A change in this functionality was requested over 10 years ago directly to the GNOME developers, the authors of the Totem application. The upstream bug report shows that this request is still outstanding.

It's not triaged. The ability to click on the volume button and then scroll the mouse slider, as long as you are moused-over a tiny area is not an effective solution. This bug should be considered confirmed. Totem is a broken media player, imho, because of this critical bug.
