Well, the situations in which the Volume key is maintained are pretty
rare in my experience (and I keep my device in my pocket all day long).

I filed this issue specifically to address the skip to next/previous
track without having to turn the device screen on and going in the music
app to finally press a button.

If other people think we should have an issue for the "rapid volume
increase", I can raise a separate issue for this.

I still hope this current feature request can be address, though :)

  [Media services] Volume up/down long press should skip to

Bug description:
  A handy feature of music players is the ability to quickly skip tracks
  by long-pressing the volume buttons. This allows users to control
  their music without having to take the device out of their pocket,
  turn its screen on, unlock it, go to the music app and press "Next".

  As of now, when I long press the volume button, it rapidly increases
  the volume, which is not very nice to my ears ;-)

  Is it possible to control the music app this way on Ubuntu phone?

  Music app version tested: 2.2.910 (2015-09-03)
  Device: Meizu MX 4
  System info: Ubuntu 15.04 (r4)
