Agreed. How about "Volume: 50%" then? I don't think we need whole
sentences.

BTW: Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but besides of the
notifications, what is the use of volumed? We already have
XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioMute which can
be bound to some like "amixer set Master 10%- -q" with
xfce4-keyboard-settings. This is highly configurable and should work for
nearly all keyboards as HAL will take care of the mappings.

So what is the use of having another daemon running?

Works fine here with PA on Fedora, although it uses ALSA on top of PA.
