Public bug reported: I was having problems with frequent volume change popups in my XFCE desktop. This was happening with Trusty 14.04 as well, and it is still happening in 16.04 Xenial. I killed the xfce4-volumed process, and disabled the autostart. Now I still see the volume control flash briefly every few seconds, if I watch it closely, but at least there is no large volume popup every few seconds.
Ideally, we could somehow figure out what is actually causing this problem and solve it, so the xfce4-volumed could be re-enabled, as it is a nice feature when it is working properly.
