I don't understand your concern about buying or selling having an effect on the "float". The float is the amount of company stock available for public trading. There is no "excess" of stock waiting around to be bought. It's all available for purchase or sold, for that matter.
I believe the reference to low volume describes the lack of interest in the the stock...simply that.
