Bug Description

The new volume-applet which should be started on login and then appear in the notification area does not work because pulse is not running when the applets gets started.

I was able to work around that by adding the following line to /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop:
X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Initialization
This way pulse gets started before the applet.

This problem has also been fixed as a side effect of the fix for LP: #322374.
However I'm not closing this bug right now as the upstream bug report is about a different, additional approach to fix this bug independent of the solution for #322374.

Agreed, the fix for bug 322374 should only be considered a workaround really. The applet still needs some work, although it's gone a bit quiet upstream on this problem
