Vincenzo, this would not necessarily be a high prio bug even if it did affect a larger user base. Two suggestions for you:

1) "sudo renice 20 `pidof gnome-volume-control-applet`"
   Check the result with top. Your CPU should spent much time niced now.
2) change the CPU frequency governor with cpufreq-selector (or an applet).
   Forcing the CPU to a lower frequency should make sure it doesn't overheat

and ;-)

3) buy better hardware that doesn't overheat even under load in summer ;-)
