Screenshot showing effect of mouse wheel

Adjusting the volume with the mouse wheel changes the volume in steps of 5%. This is quite a big step and in my experience it basically gives a choice of 'too loud' and 'too quiet' and nothing in between. I end up opening a terminal with alsamixer just to get adequate control over the volume. There should be an option that lets you adjust the step size.

This plugin has a hidden "volume-step" (uint) property that can control the size of the volume increment. You can create this property via the following command:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-XX/volume-step -t uint -s 3 --create

...where "XX" is the plugin number (which you can get by hovering over the plugin in the Panel Properties>Items tab or by looking at xfce4-settings-editor) and "3" is the step increment (adjust as needed).

This property should probably be made visible in the configuration dialog.

Thanks for this information. 
The property should definitely be made visible in the configuration dialog.

Is there any way to discover these hidden options? (apart from reading the source code)
