You say you rebuilt world. Was gnome-media actually rebuild without |
25 |
the pulseaudio Use flag? That's where gnome-volume-control comes |
26 |
from, not from the panel applets package. |

BTW, you can also do nicely without the esd USE flag and esound also, |
29 |
but you'll need to revdep-rebuild after because lots of packages will |
30 |
break (but they all still work perfectly after the rebuild.) |
