Oh, code is available. Last code check-in was 4 years ago:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-alsamixer/tree/ChangeLog
Oh, yeah - I did look at the last checkin dates but didn't notice they
were all translations.

It's in the gst-mixer sub-dir of gnome-media:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-media/tree/gst-mixer
It's still the volume control for systems that don't have PulseAudio
like Solaris or *BSDs.

No, but Brian Cameron is maintaining the old gnome-volume-control.
Those are all good points - as long as the issues Dave Airlie brought up
(about how it still identifies itself as g-v-c and hence would
presumably conflict if both were installed at once) are addressed, I'm
perfectly happy for the old g-v-c to be used instead. Should we start
filing bugs for Brian?
