This is one of the major problems with the *NIX desktop. Too many 
smaller separate utilities for functions which should be grouped into 
single user interfaces. Eventhough I don't use Ubuntu Linux for my own 
personal use, their perspective on simplifying and unifying 
functionality is what is sorely needed. I think XFCE is doing a sterling 
job, but there are still various items (including the mixer) which ought 
to have more functionality in order to make the desktop more appealing 
to the masses.
