You can get it by right clicking on a panel and use the Ad to panel
option.
I have found that the personal Settings->Sessions has the settings
to start
the gnome-volume-manager, and the current sessions shows
that it is
"included", however the icon fails to appear.
I looked
into the message (log) file and I wonder if the following is related
on
logging
in:

It
appears that polkit or pulseaudio is not
working?
