App-Level Volume Adjustment Using Mouse-Scroll-Wheel

[Lonniebiz]

In Ubuntu 16.04, you could perform app-level volume adjustment in RadioTray by scrolling your mouse-wheel on top of RadioTray's top-panel icon.

In Ubuntu 19.04, which uses the Gnome desktop, this nice feature is missing. Furthermore, since I upgraded Ubuntu from 16.04, the App-Level volume is set to the app-level volume I last adjusted back in Ubuntu 16.04 and I cannot even find an alternative way to adjust it.

As you can see, in this screenshot, the app-level volume is stuck at 5%:

I suspect I can just delete the radiotray folder to get app-level volume back to 100%:
/home/username/.local/share/radiotray

However, having convenient app-level volume control (via mouse-scroll-wheel-adjustment) was a nice feature, because it allowed me to have low background music while having louder sounds for more urgent things elsewhere.

I'm glad some kind soul is keeping the radiotray going. I hope they can fix this issue with volume adjustment; its a great feature.

Grab the fixed version from:

[Lonniebiz]

Do you maintain a repo for this, so that I can just auto-get any updates you make? Also, since you've fixed it, what's stopping you from getting your version into the main repositories?
