> i get too[sic] volume control applets in the panel (the old style and the new one, see screenshot)
I confirm that I now see two volume control applets, just as shown in his screen capture.
They don't seem quite identical. Right now, the old one shows "Master: 79%" when I hover over it, and a full context menu. The new one has only "Mute" and "Sound Preferences" as menu items, and shows "Output :80% -9.00 dB HDA Intel - AD198x Analog" when hovering.
