Thanks for the pointers.  I didn't have gst-mixer installed.  But it
looks like a standalone mixer tool.  I'd like to have a gnome panel
applet that I can use to easily mouse wheel up/down to change the
volume.  Does gst-mixer or something else provide that?  I'm not even
sure what the name of the volume applet was in F10 and earlier....
(And to clarify, sound is working fine.)
