I too find this incredibly frustrating. Especially as my laptop has hardware volup/down buttons. When volume is set via the settings panel to 120% (due to quiet microphone at the other end of a Google Hangout for example), and I switch to music I turn it down with those buttons. The indicator makes it clear to me that I'm going from 120% to 100% by flashing at me without moving (which is a bit sucky in itself) and I can dial the volume down to an acceptable level. However I can't then dial it back up to where it was. Having one button for "make it quieter" work and the opposite button for "loud" not work seems sub-optimal. If I've gone beyond 100% it should let me do it repeatedly, not require 4 mouse clicks or numerous keyboard presses to do it.
