QuickTime use to have a wheel as a volume control.

It’s was a pain to use and they later dropped it for a slider.

You beat me to posting this. When this version of the QuickTime player came out, I couldn't understand how Apple of all companies could ship this obviously awkward control.

Edit: Scrolling further down on the article, I get reminded of the weird pop-out drawer at the bottom of the player. I had totally forgotten about it, and it was also a very awkward and un-ergonomic piece of UI.
