I sent you the correct steps in a separate email.

Sorry, the mixer_applet doesn't expose the GStreamer arguments.  You can
also turn on debug via environment variables which I explain in the
separate email.

No.  You kill the one that is running in your panel, then start the applet
by hand from a terminal window.  Then if you kill the panel and allow it to
restart, it will just connect to and use the mixer_applet2 process which you
started via the terminal, rather than starting a new process.  This is how
you can launch an applet for debugging it, for example.  Is that more clear?
