Note the GNOME "gnome-media" module contains two "gnome-volume-control" applications, starting with gnome-media version 2.25. One of them is called "gst-mixer", and this is the GStreamer based one that we have always used. There is also a new "gnome-volume-control" which uses PulseAudio. It seems that most distros which use PulseAudio are going to switch to using the PulseAudio based one, while distros which do not use PulseAudio (or have problems with it) will continue using gst-mixer. This was discussed at length on the GNOME desktop-devel-list. Unfortunately, the thread is a mix of different issues, not just related to PulseAudio. However, here are a few emails from that thread if you have an interest to learn more about what the community is doing: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-January/msg00208.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-January/msg00239.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-January/msg00240.html Brian
