Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

You don't need a plugin to do this. Just hover above the volume button and use the mouse wheel.

Currently the volume step of Audacious is 5%

Don't click on the volume button, just hover it with the mouse cursor. Then use the mouse wheel. In this case the step is only 1%.

It's what I do all the time - mouse wheel. I never click anything, if I can control it with the wheel. And yet the volume step is still 5% - even with the mouse wheel.

Are you using the Winamp interface? My hint applies for the GTK/Qt interface.

I have no choice but to use the Winamp style. I've made custom presets for the equalizer and the only way I can access and use them is to run Audacious with the Winamp style.

Try something like:
volume=`audtool get-volume`
volume=$[$volume-1]
audtool set-volume "$volume"

Adjusting the volume step will be possible with 3.11.
The configured value is then used everywhere (GTK interface, Winamp interface, StatusIcon, ...).
