This is a followup to bug 475317.

I would suggest/request that the volume slider be always visible (i.e. horizontal). 

In my experience, I use the volume control much more often than the video slider. I think the volume control could be x% (where x < 50%) of the horizontal space (e.g. 30%). That would allow a quicker and more intuitive access to the volume.

Mockup:

The vast majority of videos are wide enough to accommodate this (e.g. YouTube recently even switched to a wide-screen version for all its videos).
