What you guys are talking about has absolutely nothing to do with the
package named Gnome-Volume-Control.

Summary : The GNOME Volume Manager
Description :
The GNOME Volume Manager monitors volume-related events and responds with
user-specified policy. The GNOME Volume Manager can automount hot-plugged
drives, automount inserted removable media, autorun programs,automatically
play audio CDs and video DVDs, and automatically import photos from a
digital camera. The GNOME Volume Manager does this entirely in user-space
and without polling.
Honest to $diety kids. GNOME Volume Manager does not have a darn thing to
do with any of this.
