Sound volume in XFCE

Sound volume in XFCE

[白い熊＠相撲道]

How do I control sound volume in XFCE? guix package doesn't show me any 
XFCE plugins I could install, none come installed by default.

I'm fine manipulating volume via alsamixer, however would like the 
little panel plugin so I increase/decrease volume there directly.

Or is my XFCE install borked? When I click on the Applications start 
menu, many items are missing icons etc, which shouldn't be the case.

We don't have xfce4-mixer.  it realying on old gstreamer-0.10 (removed)
and "not maintained anymore".

If you really need it, feel free to bring gstreamer-0.10 back, then package
the xfce4-mixer.  But I'd like try 'xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin' (comming
soon :-)

It's not broken, but the default settings haven't be tricked.
You should change the icon theme to gnome in 'xfce4-apperance-settings'.

I'm not proficient enough in Guix yet to do this. I'll wait for 
'xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin' :O)
