Bug#560131: gnome-control-center: Multimedia volume control keys don't work

[Aaron Barany]

I launched those utilities manually and played around with the different
audio channels in the gstreamer utility, and I seem to have found the
problem. I technically have 2 audio out devices: the sound system on my
motherboard and the HDMI output for my video card. It's using my
motherboard's sound for output, and both the volume applet and pulse volume
control utility adjust that output channel, but for some reason the media
keys were controlling the volume of my video card's HDMI output. From
gnome-volume-control.pulse I was able to disable my video card's HDMI output
and the media keys now effect the correct output channel.

Thanks for the help,
Aaron
