I can confirm this, running the latest updates of karmic and I had to purge pulseaudio.

When I try to launch it I get this;

** (gnome-volume-control:2437): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

I need to use ALSA to play most games in Wine.

It looks like this sound manager only works with pulseaudio, also looks like this is more of a gnome 2.2 thing than anything specific to Ubuntu.
