Funnily enough, everyone using Elisa/Moovida perceives this as odd
behaviour.  The rationale is that turning up the volume needs to be
fast but toning it down in small steps? Or is this just done so
that

Yes, it's definately a step forward, one minute is a lot to have as
most fine-grained.  However, IMO it's hard to get an agreement here,
it's all about expectation here and this is often not shared.  Maybe
20/20 is fine and we need to propagate this to a setting?
