Description
### What Happened?
Changing volume too quickly would result in a weird icon in a mixed state. This could be achieved either via a simple slider flick or a quick mouse wheel scroll on top of icon in the panel (managed to do this with touchpad and free scrolling wheel)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing rapid slider flicks and mouse-wheel scrolling in panel-sound on the reported Wayland setup, then follow how volume updates drive the icon state. Done means the icon changes fluidly and never remains in a mixed or uncertain state during fast volume changes.
