[Bug 39098] Re: thinkpad: volume button weighting

[Aaron Whitehouse]

I just opened a bug about the fact that pressing the Volume up and down
hotkeys on a Dell Inspiron (and everything else) move the volume by
different amounts. I had it duped against this. As has been pointed out,
this is two different issues that I will try to break up:

The fact that *the hotkeys on thinkpads move the hardware and software mixers by different amounts*
- Bug #42886 - title doesn't mention "thinkpads"
- Bug #42793 - title doesn't mention "thinkpads"

AND *The g-s-d Uneven volume hotkey weighting* issue
- the original reporter reporter named it a "thinkpad" issue but seemed concerned about the uneven volume changing;
- my bug, Bug #45743

I think that these issues need to be separated and the titles of both
made clear so that people can find the bug representing their issue. The
first issue, with the thinkpads, surely should not be rejected as it is
a clear bug.

The second issue has been rejected because it was a policy choice to make down go faster than up. As I stated on Bug #45743:
"I know that my opinion here doesn't count for much, but I will give it anyway. I can see the logic in your reasoning why down should be faster than up but completely disagree that it should be like that. I have used literally hundreds of devices for which the logic would equally apply and *none* of them share this approach as it is counter-intuitive and user-unfriendly.

On this logic, my car stereo (often very important that I can turn it
down quickly), my personal audio player, my stereo system, my TV, my
clock radio and a plethora of other devices should all reduce volumes
faster than they increase them. In all my interaction with media
devices, my Ubuntu machine is the only thing that takes this approach."

Hope this makes things clearer so that people don't have to read all the
dupe reports (as I did).
