To answer your question, warpdriver: moving or not moving the volume control is not a factor. The reason for the crackle, usually has to do with the fact; that air-borne micro-fibres, dirt and dust are in all our homes (not to mention our bodies and clothes), no matter how clean you think you keep your stuff or yourself. They float through our air, and eventually settle on something. If, in their travels, they became static-charged (and decided to settle on your volume pot; which, if you have a good-one, will be very sensitive to such intrusions); you will experience this crackle. Easiest solution for me has been: compressed-air (to blast-out the dust), and contact-cleaner (to clean and wash-away) what the compressed-air didn't get. Has worked great for me everytime.
