Richard, the suggestion in comment #5 is a workaround/hack for xfce users to use the old gtk2 sound indicator until this gets sorted out. It is not a suitable patch or fix by any means, since users of other desktop environments would be forced to use the old gtk2 indicator as well.
Seeing as how the icon shows up, but doesn't reflect the sound status or respond to sound changes, I've got a gut feeling it's not connecting to pulseaudio properly (but I could be way off base). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu.
