Rahul: my reasoning is that the one from gnome-media in f10 is the one that's
truly 'dead', because it's been turning into the new Pulse-style mixer that
this is intended to supplement. I think it'd be more of a hack to take the old
g-v-c from f10 era and call it something else than it is to just take a
different project.

what we're demonstrating here is that there's likely to be space for a 'full'
mixer for GNOME for the foreseeable future, so to me it seems to make more
sense to pick gnome-alsamixer, which - if the demand turns out to be there -
could easily be resurrected as a fully maintained project upstream; the space
is there for it and it's still a part of GNOME git. You couldn't do that with
the old gnome-volume-control, because that's already become the *new*
gnome-volume-control...

I wouldn't really mind if people felt strongly that we should take the old
g-v-c instead, though. my goal is only to have a decent GUI alsa-level mixer
available out of the box in f11, I'm not that strongly wedded to one or the
other.
