Have you updated gstreamer today?  The volume control is supposed to be fixed in 
gstreamer packages just built.  The gnome-settings-daemon I don't think is fixed 
yet, its happening to me as well.  There is a new package available but it has 
dependency issues, control-center and gnome-applets do not let libxklavier 
update which the new gnome-settings-daemon is built against.
