Gnome 2.6 volume control applet not seeing audio channels?



I recently updated my sid box to all the latest stuff for the first time
in a month or two, which got me from Gnome 2.4 to 2.6.  Once I
discovered that I had to kill the old services like gconf (which doesn't
happen normally when you log out) it seems fine.

Except one thing: the volume control applet on the panel doesn't work.
It won't find any of the channels; like it can't find the audio
devices.  But, they're there!  I've tried removing it from the panel and
re-adding it and it still doesn't work; if I try to open the volume
control dialog it fails because there are no channels, and if I open the
Preferences dialog there are no channels shown in the box (it's empty).


On the other hand, the modules are loaded (I'm using ALSA), and I can
play sound just fine through various apps, including the Desktop
Preferences -> Sound applet: I can select the "Sound Events" tab and
play the sample sounds just fine.


Anyone have any ideas on where to look?

Thanks!
