Description Newt 2024-10-03 18:11:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
It is jarring to lower or raise volume and getting the volume change when you stop holding the volume slider, a smooth transition in volume as the slider moves would be appreciated (like in stock spotify app's remote control)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. connect to a device and start playing music 
2. go to media controls in the android app
3. raise or lower the volume making a sliding motion
OBSERVED RESULT
The volume only changes once the finger has been lifted

EXPECTED RESULT
The volume gradually lowers or raises as you move your finger
