           Summary: Audo volume control broken in Breezy Colony 5

[The package is a guess; I really have no idea what package is responsible for
this.  Please reassign as appropriate.]

In Breezy Colony 5, fresh install on a blank disk about a week ago, currently
up-to-date with available updates on net:

I just noticed that the volume control in the upper right has an X on it.  I
double-clicked on it and got "Registry is not present or it is corrupted, please
update it by running gst-register".  I can't find gst-register in my default
path in a shell.  (Also, that's a run-on sentence :)

I tried right-clicking on it, selected Preferences, and nothing happened.  (That
is, the menu popped back down, but nothing else happened.)

I haven't tried to install any packages except the default that come with the
distribution, with the exception of Emacs and maybe a couple other trivial
ones---but nothing AV related.  I haven't actually tried any audio because I
haven't downloaded the various optional codec & all that, since this machine
will mostly be a server, but I will if someone has any suggestions that might
help in debugging.

[I recall that in Hoary I had to turn off ESD in order to get RealPlayer to
work, but I haven't done anything like that in this release, because I haven't
tried RP yet.]

This is on a 32-bit Athlon with an MSI K7T Turb 2 motherboard and its built-in
audio.  This machine's audio certainly worked when it ran an oldish Mandrake
(7.0?), but it has never run Ubuntu before this install of Colony 5.

Thanks!
