I'm seeing this with keyboard shortcuts on Gutsy and Hardy as well. I worked around it for now by moving the keybindings from the "special" volume up, down, mute to be metacity run_command_* bindings. The commands I used were as follows:

Volume Down:
amixer -c 0 set PCM 2dB

Volume Up:
amixer -c 0 set PCM 2dB+ unmute

Volume Mute:
amixer -c 0 set PCM mute

While I don't get the on-screen display, this works fine. This seems to suggest that this is a GNOME volume control issue and not one in the driver. For reference, I have an HP Pavilion dv8000 with an HDA Intel card.

Sebastien, I can test whatever you'd like.
