OK, I must admit that I haven't totally figured out where this all ends
up in regards to the volume control. But, can someone explain what the
plan is?

Some things I know for sure:

1) Radially clicking to change the volume needs to go.
2) Radially dragging to change the volume needs to go.
3) It needs to be very obvious exactly how to change it, which needs to
either be clicking or vertical/horizontal dragging.
4) The volume percentage should always be displayed.

Given those requirements, any mockups?  :-)
