So I think the discussion at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524425 has finished.

A patch was initially committed... then rejected. It was concluded that the real solution is for the thinkpad-acpi kernel driver to create an ALSA mixer for the volume level. I agree with this. However, this isn't going to happen until 2.6.25 (at the earliest, and it seems a bit unlikely now).

Would it be possible to get the patch implemented in the ubuntu package as a stop-gap solution for Hardy?
