In Ubuntu 9.04/GNOME 2.26, I am still able to access my gstreamer sound preferences, event sounds, and control any chosen OSS4 volume with my keyboard's media keys, as long as gstreamer-plugins-bad is installed. PLEASE do not bork this in Ubuntu 9.10. If I need to open a new bug in GNOME's bugzilla to make them realize this is not just a "distribution problem" please let me know.
