Hi, Pjtor, I am not a programmer, but I see a huge problem with your "very easy" fix, you see, xubuntu shares most and almost all their setting from mainbuntu, so the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/indicator-sound.service belongs to all the *buntu multiverse, changing its content would have affected all the flavours and then break the ubuntu's panels. Xubuntu would have needed an "special" indicator-sound.service and all the programs that call the service would have to be tuned to use this, as far as i understand.

I agree that this was not a nice thing to happen, and that maybe some silly workaround (like simply adding a panel launcher to pavucontrol as default, or adding a standalone sound applet) might have been preferrable, but at the moment no one of us though about this. I can not speak for the rest of xubuntu but I feel a bit ashamed that we let this go through so far as it did. -- Br uno.-
