Bug Description
The volume meters in pavucontrol are missing. I did find a checkbox in the configuration tab: "Show volume meters" but there are no meters with this box checked or unchecked. These meters are quite important for web based conferencing use for input level adjustment.

I started pavucontrol from the terminal and found that meters work. However, when started from the menu they don't. On further investigation, I found that the desktop file lists pavucontrol-qt rather than pavucontrol as the executable. I am not sure why there are two items called the same thing. In any case it is pavucontrol-qt that exhibits this bug. As kubuntu-desktop depends on pavucontrol-qt I can't even remove it...
