I tought that you were saying something about GNOME Volume Control being

Just a warning, if you manage to upgrade WebKit to 1.10.0 and you want 
to use rhythmbox, don't use gstreamer 0.11 switch because it will break 
rhythmbox (I use rhythmbox git checkout that has been ported to 
gstreamer 0.11/1.0 that works fine)

I have GStreamer 1.0 and 0.10 installed and everything worked perfectly 
here. But, I did a clean install.
