https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Sound_menu discusses the behavior for
scrolling on the volume menuitem and scrolling on the title:

> Whenever the volume item is highlighted:
>
> The Left and Right arrow keys should instantly decrease or

>
> The “-” and “+” keys should instantly decrease or increase the volume,

> Rolling a mousewheel up or down should increase or decrease the

and

By my count, the volume menuitem seems to be correctly following the
spec, requiring 10 mouse nudges to go from 0% to 100% volume.

The title takes something like 16-17 nudges, so the IMO the right way to
make scrolling consistent between the two is to make title scrolling
follow the spec.

There is a second bug here that intersects with bug #1226931: the
left/right and -/+ keys don't follow the spec at all, so there's
currently no simple way to walk the volume in smaller steps.
