I use in-ear plug-like headphones so this may be not help, but my mp3 player has a much wider choice of level adjustments and I wish the Nokia was more sensitive.
Incidentally, I had the exact same thoughts yesterday evening when listening to the music with my in-ears!
I tried to combine both volume controls, but found that the sounds gets suddenly muted/cutoff below a certain threshold - even if there is still ample "room" in the volume control to go louder.
Perhaps a Nokia guru knows if this is a "problem" of the audio chipset?

The different volume between various internet radio streams is a problem for me, too, when using a standalone Noxon 2 player. Switching between channels also needs volulme adjustments.
