To reiterate, I at least am not proposing that gnome-volume-control
support all these cases. g-v-c should support profile switching and
input switching, and have a single volume control that actually works
properly on all hardware. That would be enough.

All I want beyond that is for there to be a GUI mixer that provides full
channel control available in the default install for all editions of
Fedora, *alongside* Pulse-level mixers like the new-skool g-v-c. Only
providing alsamixer would be a serious regression - most people don't
know that it exists, or know how to use it. And most people, infamously,
don't read the release notes. This isn't our fault, but it's something
we should take into account.
