--- Comment #2 from AG Restringere <ag.restringere at gmail.com> ---
Roman, I have had a similar problem, it may be a good idea to merge these two
bug/issues: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9136.

My take on this is that if the user is changing volume directly or any item
directly from the indicator plugins that there shouldn't be any pop up
notifications at all because this is not how it's done in Mac OS X or Windows. 
In Mac OS X the most you get are notifications if you hit keyboard shortcuts or
hotkeys such as volume or brightness. This makes XFCE look messy and not as
refined...

The text of the bug report is as follows:
------------------------------
Version: 4.10 XFCE
Distro: Xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Specific: Volume Controls...

There are two ways of adjusting audio volume or muting audio in Xubuntu:  

The first is to use keyboard shortcut keys similar to how is done with the Mac
OS.  When I use the shortcut keys on my keyboard to adjust or mute the audio
volume I get these great indicator pop-ups that tell me that I have changed the
volume.  

The second method of changing the audio volume or muting it is to use the mouse
and click on the volume indicator directly, this brings up a small drop down
with a volume control or mute control.  When I adjust volume with the mouse
this way the volume indicator still generates a notification alert! This is
redundant because a user who has changed the volume or muted the audio via the
panel with the mouse doesn't need an indicator to show what level they just set
the volume at.  This makes the panel appear as if it is malfunctioning and does
not look good.
