Great idea! It really is all relative volume, isn't it?
So what about a volume control like this:

Where the peppers become icons or names or whatever, but the important
thing is they're relative to one another.
The main volume control could also be changed to provide a few presets,
or most commonly useful settings.
Just throwing the idea out there.....

I'd say no, most of the time. It only makes sense in specific
situations. And then, it does matter in a relative sense - that is, I
want the phone ring to be louder than the music player, and system
sounds to be softer. I don't want multimedia sounds at 75% and system
sounds to 30% volume.
