Hello Yves-Alexis.

First, when still using xfce 4.6.x, I didn't like that I have to click
on the panel-plugin to get to the mixer program. The previous
incarnation allowed to change volume on the panel icon itself, which
was more practical.

Then, when trying to compile mixer 4.6.1 with xfce-4.8, I get
compilation errors (see below). I though these were version
incompatibilities, as it seems to be related to missing/changed symbols.
I didn't investigate further.
