I remember that Suns had a panel applet that controlled the sound volume
of the system
This does not seem to exist in the current CDE.

I have tried to use gnome-sound-applet together with stalonetray as
suggested in previous posts
but it is not good. For example, the moment vlc starts, the tray icon of
vlc covers the  gnome-sound-applet
and you have no more access to it.

The easiest way (if no-one has something better) is to use xbindkeys and
use a configuration such as

## File is $HOME/.xbindkeysrc
## Volume down, up, mute
"amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-"
    m:0x0 + c:122
    XF86AudioLowerVolume
"amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+"
    m:0x0 + c:123
    XF86AudioRaiseVolume
"amixer -D pulse sset Master toggle"
    m:0x0 + c:121
    XF86AudioMute
###############################

and use the keyboard to raise, lower or mute/unmute the sound volume.

Does anyone have a better or gui solution?
If not, I may write a CDEtip for the wiki pages.

Antonis.
