I, however, still have this same problem even though gnome-media 
2.6.2-0.2 is installed.

spleen:~# dlocate -l \*gnome-media\* | grep gnome-media
ii  gnome-media    2.6.2-0.2      Gnome 2 Media Utilities

If I select the volume controls from the gnome menu 
applications->multimedia->volume controls (which launches 
gnome-volume-control), then an error message appears stating, " Sorry, 
no mixer elements and/or devices found" . The same thing happens if I 
start gnome-volume-control directly from a terminal and no other error 
messages appear in the terminal.

*However*, the volume slider on xmms works fine, as does the 
gnome-alsamixer.
