Jannis explicitly told me he wanted a stand-alone app for watching sound volume
changes, and I must say I agree. It's a little more than just binding keys. So,
ideally, keys would be bound by a xfce4 daemon that would make them available
to other applications via some API, and would be able to give feedback to the
user when several apps want to use a key, but we're not quite there yet and in
the meanwhile I think xfce4-volumed is just fine (except for its ugly code :p).

Check my previous comment. Your setup is not normal (but I agree we'll have to
apply this patch one day or another, to make it possible to control which track
to display and control from the mixer's GUI).

It's just for you as far as I know because I received an absolute 0 bug reports
on this. Does this also happen on a clean installation of your current
distribution (you can test in a virtual machine). And what exact versions of
xfce4-volumed, xfce4-notifyd, libnotify are you using? What distribution are
you using?
