Video playback changes position

Hope this is not a deliberate change, scrolling to change the video position is (for me at least) the single most helpful control.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported mouse-scroll behavior in mpv v0.37.0 on Arch Linux while a video is playing. Trace the input handling for scrolling on the video window and compare the current volume change with the expected playback-position change; done means scrolling changes position without unexpectedly changing volume.
