regarding this, you are right. my mentioned "consequent UI design"
contravenes
whith my suggestion.
on the other hand: Being in this dialog, the user looks at the scrollbars
and he
will be pressing the right keys intuitively. Maybe he get`s used to, and
expects
right/left for volume control in the main menu after some time....
"scissors in my head" here....

- Volume UP/DOWN keys are LEFT/RIGHT on this screen, not UP/DOWN
  like on the WPS
  I did the vertical sound sliders because I wanted the volume UP/DOWN
  keys to be consistent, not because of good looks

- More scrolling involved - only 3 lines are visible
