Bug Description
In Xubuntu Oneiric xfce4-volumed works fine apart from unmute. For some reason "mute" still works as expected – and in fact "unmute" also sends the correct/expected notification, yet nothing happens.
The only way to unmute is to do so by opening a mixer (pavucontrol) or using the Sound-Indicator.
I would guess (beware: wild guess!) that it might be related to changes in Ubuntu to adapt the volume of headphones when plugged in and saving their volume settings. I can't provide any further insight to that other than that it happened during the oneiric-cycle.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I can confirm that "mute" does work, but "unmute" does not respond. The workaround is to use the mixer controls to unmute.
