Bug#560131: gnome-control-center: Multimedia volume control keys

I wouldn't consider it closed, since the volume control for the media keys
was controlling different hardware from the sound output and volume applet
in the system tray. I was able to work around the problem by disabling the
hardware from the sound preferences, but that doesn't fix the underlying
problem that it wasn't controlling the correct hardware when it had the
choice. I have confirmed that the problem still exists by re-enabling my
video card's HDMI sound hardware and rebooting.

Thanks,
Aaron
