Comment 76 for bug 527267

well... i'm living now without this applet indicator, and added the pulseaudio indicator, everything is ok, except i had no replacement of the envelope icon (in fact i didn't liked it, i found no use for it)
i saw a few other bugs solved by removing this applet, like some notifications being shown now and so on

i think we must create a new bug or question asking for people to completely rewrite this applet and using it's own settings rather than misusing settings from menu-items and related
