Errh, yes and no. I do have gnome-control-center installed:
$ dpkg -s gnome-control-center
Package: gnome-control-center
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: gnome
Installed-Size: 2024
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers
<pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64
Source: control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-2
however, that version of that package does *not* contain the desired
sound executable:
$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-control-center.list
/.
