The new gnome-volume-control is so cut-down it's not useful to me. In
the quest to be more Mac-like in removing mixer controls (and not even
having any obvious "advanced" mode), I now have a choice of no audio or
having full volume LFE output *and* whatever mixer level I have set for
the master output. alsamixer works fine, but then I can't use the volume
sliders on my desktop and it gets rather awkward.

I still pine for the days of isapnpdump when I had to do all the heavy
lifting by hand, but it worked 100% of the time.
