You wouldn't actually want a linear volume control, you'd start to turn
the control, then the sound would jump out at you as it suddenly gets
very loud. A logarithm *is* a desirable trait (our hearing isn't
linear), though some seem to have peculiar characteristics.
I agree on that, but what I would like is the "perceptually linear" behavior,
like with all other sliders. The 'Wave surround' or 'wave center', for
example, behave just as I expect, but PCM does not.
Best regards, :-)
