I find the 'one slider per program' frequently useful. Different programs can be outputting at wildly different levels. I might have my music playing at a comfortable volume, then discover a video on YouTube I want to watch, and it comes in painfully loud, such that I'm immediately reaching for the volume control on the speakers or yanking off my headphones. Then when the video's over, I get to turn my speakers/headphones back up.
With only a single master volume control I'm often fiddling with it to keep things at a reasonable level. With per program volume, I'm fiddling with levels less often and spending more time just listening.
