Error in gnome-volume-control

[Santiago Erquicia]

When I try to open gnome-volume-control under beta2 (installed from the
CDs without upgrading my RH9 installation) it shows the following error
message:

An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
gnome-volume-control. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.

and in the details:

Bad key or directory name:
 "/apps/gnome-volume-control/OSS-Unknown-1/Vol  ": ` ' is an invalid
character in key/directory names

Does anyone have the same problem?

I don't know if matters, but I have two tabs on the volume control
saying Unknown.

.. same here. The details on *my* system are:

The sound card here is an Ensoniq 64 (... not the "latest and greatest"

Seems like the problem is happening for many people. Perhaps
gconf doesn't like the keys that end with whitespace, or something.

As an update, it looks like it's fixed upstream in gnome-media-2.3.8:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119979

Hence, an update is no doubt recommended.
