I normally use fvwm, but brought up gnome to check this.
I cannot find a "sound preferences" menu. The help page is useless;
it doesn't say where the "sound preferences" submenu is located.
It suggests it is under System -> Preferences, but the only relevant
entry I see there is "Sound", which has none of the options
discussed (just settings for alsa mixer).
