I noticed that too now (I usually don't make large volume adjustments; I
guess that's why I haven't noticed it before). I'm not sure what commit
caused this, but I did find something that might explain a thing or two:

In sound.c:set_prescaled_volume, I added a pause (of 2 ticks) between
the two uda1380_* calls there, and that seems to have solved the
problem. Not the prettiest fix, but it does suggest that Rockbox calls
the uda* functions too quickly somehow (I haven't yet tried with a pause
in wps.c:setvol). Perhaps someone with better knowledge of the hardware
can make something out of that...

(I also noticed that a define in the iRiver i2c driver was removed;
adding it back (thus removing a line of code) didn't have any effect on
its own.)
