Henrique,
You are giving technical reasons as to why they should be different. While likely valid, they are missing the point.
A normal user will expect that when a button labelled with an sound icon and an up arrow is pressed, the volume will increase and there will be OSD telling them how close to 'maximum loudness' they are at. All I'm asking for is that the volume keys behave the way thay they did in Hardy/Intrepid. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than current zero visual feedback. You can work around the double-stepping by assigning the default mixer track (Sound settings) to control an output you don't use (say CD).
Right now, when I look at my desktop in Jaunty, i have NO IDEA if the volume is mute or unmute. This leads me to obsessively press the mute button to ensure it really is mute. That's not user friendly behaviour.
