Description
There are many parameters that can be better presented with log scale Slider: volume, voice pitch, voice speed, etc.
Currently it's really cumbersome to customize Slider (or SeekBar) for using log scale instead of linear scale.
Would be great to see log10 scale support from the box. Or maybe some general support for scaling control.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the Slider and SeekBar entry points to understand how their current linear scaling is exposed. Define whether completion means built-in log10 support or a general scaling mechanism, then verify the chosen API supports parameters such as volume, voice pitch, and voice speed without cumbersome customization.
