Thanks for the note.  I checked and gnome-media is already installed,
and it's the latest version.  I also looked and I have both gstreamer
(0.6.4) and gstreamer0.8 (0.8.1) installed.


Anyone have any other thoughts on this, or where to look for more clues?


I actually used the gconf editor and looked at the gnome-volume-control
section, and I _DO_ see the right stuff there; there's an OSS-Unknown-1
section which would be me OSS-compatibility modules, and also an
OSS_VIA_Technologies_VIA1612A-1 section which would be the direct ALSA
support for my sound card.  Inside those I see the various channels,
like cd, speaker, line, etc.

But, the runtime app doesn't seem to notice them :-/.
