I already did, as you may have found out looking at the status page.
Holger, you keep conveying contradictory messages. You keep saying that
a) bugs should only be filed after verifying they are not a local setup
issue,
but when I try to get issues verified beforehand, you complain that
b) bugs should be filed instead.
This is very hard for me to interpret. I am doing my best to both rule
out local issues *and* file bugs once it is clear it is a general issue.

Sorry, but this sounds somewhat ridiculous. No average user expects that
they have to start a separate program from somewhere to control volume -
this is not one of the "learning to know some features of Linux
desktops" things like the desktop switching thing we discussed on IRC,
as every desktop used by average users ha a volume control right on the
default desktop (and Xfce also had before replacing xfce4-mixer with
xfce4-pulse-plugin).

OK, but it already says that *Xfce* is missing a volume control -
pavucontrol or anything else from the menu is not Xfce.
