As has been said before: This list rocks!
My problem is fixed.
Solution -- run:
gst-register-0.8
as suggested by Tony Nelson and Gérard Milmeister.
Note to Tony: In my haste I overlooked James Walker's instruction "As
root run" in your response; I ran it as my non-root account and that
worked for me. It appears that it updated/created my:
~/.gstreamer-0.8/registry-i386.xml
I first tried furlan's (flp) thing: rm .gnome2/gnome-volume-control
That didn't work for me.
And Oliver, since the problem is now fixed do you still want output
from a mixer?
The rest of this note is the text of the responses, and
my original post is the last thing.

Dear Bill
please may you run the mixer from a terminal, and tell us what it puts out?

When that happened here I found that (from your home directory) if
you:
1. rm .gnome2/gnome-volume-control
2. click on the volume control and it works again.
I have no indication WHY this changes things as IIRC the file that is (re)generated
appears to be identical to the one erased in bot permissions and content.

The gnome mixer uses gstreamer. Probably you have made an update
of gstreamer. Run gst-register and try again.

Somewhere along the line my gnome-volume-control stopped working.
It *was* working in FC3 and I seldom mess with it unless I'm doing something
which requires the mixer -- like recording from an LP!
Which means I have no idea what/when it got broken. (Perhaps an
update? I've about given up using SElinux; seems like every update to
selinux-policy-targeted kills something and I have to turn it off!)
Sorry, got off on a tangent, there.
Using the speaker icon on my task bar is futile:
Attempting move the slider -- it just reverts to BOTTOM.
Attempting to R-Click->Open Volume Control gets an error box
which says:
Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found.
The sound works!
Furthermore, alsamixer works. aumix/xaumix work.
Somewhere along the line Gnome has lost the ability to "see" my sound
devices. Anybody else seen this or have any clues?
My built-in sound card Driver: snd-intel8x0
According to Hardware Browser:
nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Controller (MCP)
AlsaMixer v1.0.6 (which sees *all* the goodies) says:
Card: NVidia nForce2
Chip: Realtek ALC650F
