This icons miss in Oxygen theme, that is default on Kubuntu. If I switch to any Gnome icon theme (Human), the icons shows.

Confirm the upper.

It would be very nice if someone could tell me the exact icon names pavucontrol tries to load. Please bounce the bug back to oxygen-icons once this information was acquired, thanks.

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

the file src/pavucontrol.glade contains the icon-links, the following two are used here:

lock channels together: stock_lock
set as fallback: emblem-default

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Thank you.

So...
stock_lock is neither part of the proposed default icons from the proposed icon naming spec [1], nor is it following the presented naming schema, nothing we can do here on the oxygen side of things. As I see it there are two approaches to this:
a) look if there isnt a similar or same icon that is part of the proposed default icons as per [1]
b) import that icon into pavucontrol and either install it, as say pavucontrol-locked, in the hicolor theme or in pavucontrol's data directory and take care of icon loading somehow (no idea if GNOME/GTK+ got convenience magic for that).

As for emblem-default, I hope it shouldnt be used in the presented screenshot, because quite frankly the definition [2] of emblem-* would not quilify for anything in the UI. If it is used there, then this really should be changed to something more suitable.
Eitherway the icon is missing in oxygen even though it is part of the proposed spec, I'll talk to upstream about doing something about this :)

[2] Due to lack of proper description in the proposed fdo spec: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/IconThemes#Stock_Icons

Just got annoyed enough by these missing icons to look here :)

It is interesting to eg. compare the /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/actions and /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions directories. Oxygen has a lot more icons which look like the are named after the spec but aren't in the spec, while Gnome prefixes a lot of icons either with stock_, stock- or gtk-. I don't know which is better (IMO: There should be a prefix reserved for icons added which aren't in the spec yet, like stock- or maybe x-, maybe even x-appname- and each app ships its own icons until they are incorporated into the spec).

Anyway, I guess for this to be fixed two new actions are needed. Actually three since the first button seems to use a status and not an action. I'd suggest
  action/media-volume-mute (same as status/audio-volume-muted or Oxygen's action/player-volume-muted)
  action/media-channels-link (some of the many locks would be fitting)
  action/media-device-enable or action/media-device-fallback (the currently used icon emblem-default with a checkmark doesn't really make sense since the default channel is enabled, too)
No new icons are needed, a few sym- or hardlinks should be enough (if allowed).

Seems that this bug was solved on Maverick, all icons appeared for me after some last updates.

[Daniel Eckl (daniel-eckl)]

Cannot confirm. You should wait for confirmation before setting to fixed.

[Murz (murznn)]

Seems that it has committed only in KDE 4.5.3, because I use ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Fixed in natty, at any rate.

[RussianNeuroMancer (russianneuromancer)]

Still reproduced in Natty for me. Can you please check fix again?

[Georg Sauthoff (g-sauthoff)]

I cannot confirm that it is fixed. I installed pavucontrol on Oneiric and there are some icons missing (see attachment).
