In reply to comments #71, #72, #74 and #104:
The variable $(arch) on 32-bit systems returns the value i686, not i386, so
the workarounds using it do not work if you are in 32-bit unity.

just noticed my workaround was specific to the 64bit version, the 32bit
workaround line is this:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service;fi'
pq, I didn't test on a 32-bit OS either because I don't have one. I
should have eyeballed that in any case. Message #65 does not cover the
x86 case.
I am using the patch in message #5 instead (no conditional code). This
is fine because the script exits in a non-XFCE case ahead of time.
Might also be good to check for LXPanel, as it has the same problem and
the fix works for it as well.

I do think the issue is that the xfce4 panel is in gtk2, and the gtk2
sound indicator was written specifically to support xfce. see:

So this is my final analysis:
The sound indicator has two parts: there is the part which gets loaded

I realise that. Not trying to be a pest.
I just want the indicator-sound maintainer to understand that the package
is being rereleased for other reasons but unfixed w.r.t. to this bug and
the fix would be so simple. I don't mind reapplying the patch until a fix

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.
