Gary:
Try this:
1) Run "ps -ef mixer_applet2". Kill the mixer_applet2 process.
If a pop-up comes up asking if you want to reload
the applet into your panel, pick "Don't reload".
2) In a terminal set the GST_DEBUG environment variable
like this
export GST_DEBUG=4
export GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1
Run "/usr/lib/mixer_applet2" from this terminal after
setting those environment variables.
3) Restart the panel by running "pkill gnome-panel".
Add back the "Volume Control" applet back to your
panel by right-clicking on the panel and selecting
"Add to Panel" if necessary.
Now debug output should appear in the terminal from step #2
above. Recreate the problem where the audio gets killed, and
share the log with me.
