Sorry I'm late to this thread, but you are incorrect. The current volume
button is just as usable in terms of number of clicks as a slider that
would always be visible. The button supports dragging up/down to
immediately adjust the slider:

a) mouse down on the button
b) move mouse up/down to adjust
c) release mouse button to dismiss the slider popup

I'm not sure who you're saying was incorrect, but that was Christoph's second case. :)
 

This functionality was very specially implemented exactly for this
reason. Additionally you can hover over the button and adjust the volume
with your scroll wheel.

I like that detail; thanks for thinking of that subtle, effective behavior.

I've updated the bug with this information and closed it as WONTFIX.

Good deal, but it's good to know you're considering alternatives for other OSes; I think that's most of what's motivating this discussion (though I can't speak for Christoph in bringing it up).
