Note that all these volume controls set the hardware volumes, if you want to
set the PulseAudio volume, that's done through pavucontrol (and that's
probably the reason gnome-volume-control is deprecated, they want you to
use pavucontrol instead; but there are legitimate reasons to set the
hardware volumes!).
