CVS errors

[Brian J. Tarricone]

looks like the mixer plugin is causing the panel to crash, and, due to 
some really bad design decisions on the libalsa dev's part, some types 
of alsa errors cause the program using it to abort.  really dumb.  try 
removing $prefix/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libmixer.*

danny, you really need to find a way to make the mixer plugin not crash ^_~.
