This is not exactly an answer but a workaround for the time being! :)

@Kimking - I found a few files to play with and now have the volume adjustable by single step increments. I've been trying to make a patch for this, but so far, have failed miserably!. So I manually edited the files myself.

Volume Slider:

I found 2 files relating to audio volume settings, one for Ambience volume settings, the other in general Settings.

File one - found at /usr/lib/qt5/qml/com/jolla/gallery/ambience/VolumeAction.qml line 49 (ambience ringer volume)

File two - found at /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/sounds/VolumeSlider.qml line 16 (Volume in Settings)

Just look for StepSize: 20 and change 20 to 1 - save the edit, pkill lipstick (restart homescreen) and voila!, single step increments of volume change. If you want 5% increments, change 20 to 5 - job done!

Volume Keys:

You can also change volume key increments in /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/volumecontrol/VolumeControl.qml. On lines 417 to 422 (on 2.0.0.10, 421 to 426) you can find:

if (volumeIncreasing)
   initialChange = profile.ringerVolume === 100 ? 0 : -0.2
else
   initialChange = profile.ringerVolume === 0 ? 0 : 0.2

adjustRingtoneVolume(volumeBar.volumeIncreasing ? 20 : -20)

Those -0.2, 0.2 and 20 : -20 are increments, just replace them as you wish.

There is another adjustRingtoneVolume on line 384 (on 2.0.0.10 388) for when you long press volume keys. If you want volume keys to rapidly mute the device don't change them.

I used Nano for editing the file via SSH over USB. To make changes to files in root using Nano, you must gain root access (devel-su) or the changes cannot be made. I find Nano much easier to use compared with Vim - Vim is powerful but not the most intuitive CLI app I've used.
