XFCE Volume Control panel plugin icon is not updated

[Markhor]

Binary package hint: xfce4-mixer

I use xubuntu 10.04 with most recent updates on Acer Aspire One AOD250. I use hot keys to adjust sound volume (Fn+Down or Up). Volume is changed properly, but volume control plugin for XFCE panel is not updated (the icon still shows the old sound volume). When I enter xfce4-mixer itself, it is updated and shows the proper volume with its sliders. When I scroll the sliders and close the window, the mixer icon is not updated, too. When I enter the mixer plugin properties and hit "Close", the icon is updated.

Here is a screencast of what I mean.

Thanks for your bug report. I'm able to reproduce that, but it looks like a bug of the gstreamer pulseaudio bindings, as with gstreamer0.10-alsa, there's no such issue.

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
