Are you seeing this with all applications? I see it with gkrellm's
volume control, but the Gnome volume control works just fine as does
the CLI mixer(1) command.

I have sent a note to the maintainer of the volume plug-in, but have
not heard anything to this point. I will probably do a PR on it soon
and I really love the gkrellm volume control.
