To as far as the slider currently goes in the sound settings in Unity 
and GNOME. Why should there be one scale on the desktop and with media 
keys and another in the sound settings?

So you think that if you want full volume you should first slide the 
desktop slider up to 100% and then have to open sound settings and move 
it up from there? Right now every time I watch a movie I have to open 
sound settings instead of using the slider or the keys on my laptop. 
GNOME and Unity is the only to DEs who has it designed like that.
