Bug Description
When both the volume control applet and the volume control application are open, muting the channel using the volume control applet, and restoring the volume does not unmute the channel.
Reproduce by:
1) Open the volume control application
2) Move the slider on the applet to the bottom
3) Observe that both systems report the channel muted
4) Move the slider back up
5) Observe that the mute status is different
6) Observe that the channel is muted, although the slider shows it unmuted.

This happens for me too. The only way to "unmute" it again for me is to use my volume up/down from my keyboard and this restores the volume. However... I'm also experiencing another "symptom" -- but not sure if I should file it as a separate bug or not. On my system, with an onboard VIA 8235 (Alsa) AC97 chipset, even when I have the volume slider(s) all the way down and it claims to be "muted," I still receive sound at a very low volume through my speakers. It's not until I actually choose to mute it that the sound stops.
