If you want the menu back to stock... remove the
.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu

You can start over again from there. I personally didn't have any problem
with changing the menu, but I didn't try everything... I don't know if it
supports menu item placement/layout or just puts things in alphabetical
order. I would expect you can change the layout by hand editing the above
file though. Just look for examples in the system file:
/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/menus/xfce-applications.menu

I would suggest against changing the system file, but if you do, back up
the stock one first!

The oversized icon is a surprise. I thought I had tried files with 48x48
pngs without them doing that. The size it wants in the end is 24x24. Maybe
save a copy at that size and point at it. I don't know why the ALSA
package uses the generic alsamixer icon for all mixers even though there
are specific ones available.
