Appears it is. No, this is because pnmixer uses pavucontrol as default mixer application. If you want to use pnmixer with plain alsa you can click "Preferences" from the menu, select the "Behavior" Tab and change the "Volume Control Command" to something like alsamixergui or whichever gui mixer you prefer.

Sounds great. By default, it simply starts, in XFCE, in the tray. The man page needs a patch as it says "Any other sound driver like OSS or FFADO, or sound server like PulseAudio or Jackd, are currently not supported (patches welcome)." Clicking on "Mixer" button (after right clicking the tray icon) brings up a window which appears to endlessly attempt to connect to PulseAudio. I thought pulse was not installed. Appears it is. Time to experiment with removing it again, as I only use ALSA anyway... Thanks :)

you might want to have a look at pnmixer.
It works with both pulseaudio and plain alsa and should work with any
DE's system tray.

Xfce4 - uninstalled pulseaudio - no volume control for alsa for the panel
As for the Subject, I' ve uninstalled pulseaudio because after an upgrade I couldn't hear anything from the speakers (it happened already in the past more than once). Now I have audio again but it appears that there is no plugin for alsa to use in the lower panel. I've installed "volti", it works but I cannot have it in the lower panel. Aldo :-)
