Re: FC3 gnome-volume-control broken

As has been said before:  This list rocks!

My problem is fixed.
Solution -- run:
	gst-register-0.8
as suggested by Tony Nelson and Gérard Milmeister.
Note to Tony:  In my haste I overlooked James Walker's instruction "As
root run" in your response; I ran it as my non-root account and that
worked for me.  It appears that it updated/created my:
~/.gstreamer-0.8/registry-i386.xml

I first tried furlan's (flp) thing: rm .gnome2/gnome-volume-control
That didn't work for me.

And Oliver, since the problem is now fixed do you still want output
from a mixer?

The rest of this note is the text of the responses, and
my original post is the last thing.
