Fade out volume/messages

How about having the volume scale fade-out instead of just disappearing?
Same could also be applied to having messages when some status changes and
the info ticker is off (end of track, stopped, paused, playing).
This should remind a bit the WindowMaker desktop name fade-outs....

Let me second this as a 'cool idea' that (shouldn't?) be all that hard to implement.
