As far as I know it was always flacky over releases, i.e. in one release
you had double stepping, in others you had no OSD. I really, really don't
need a OSD like the Windows one. (Where you also have to control the
master differently, by the way.) I can understand why people fail to see
the hardware mixer in the picture, but double stepping is far more
annoying.

Alas: I can always remap the volume keys in Gnome. Sadly I get XF86WakeUp
for all of Fn+{Ins,Del,PgDn}, so I cannot map master to those.
