Default Output: Autodetect. The test produces a beep. The beep is there
when I change that to any of ALSA, ESD, OSS, Custom (osssink).

No (just locales)

   jan at dikkop:~$/usr/lib/gnome-applets/mixer_applet2 
   (mixer_applet2:30587): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

It seems above the applet added from the GUI, right click on panel,
add "volume control", is not mixer_applet2? This test produced an applet 
that was working fine, didn't show any errors, no red cross, and it 
opens a volume control when one clicks on it, which seems to work.

When I removed this from the panel he command line instance stopped.

Then I added again, without a command line instance running. It has the red 
cross again. The first time I click it, it says:

   The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to
control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer
plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

   You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking
the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the
menu.

Thereafter (once I closed that) it is back to the original error from
a feisty install (btw, another machine, edgy dist-upgrade to feisty, does 
not do this).

   "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"

regards,
Jan
