-	  With the removal of the <package>gstreamer</package> based
-	  volume applet, you may be left without an obvious way to
-	  adjust ALSA sound levels after an upgrade. If they are set
-	  too low, raising the PulseAudio sound levels may not work
-	  acceptably. To solve this issue, install
-	  <package>alsa-utils</package> and run <command>alsamixer
-	  -c0</command> from a shell prompt. To access the recording
-	  channels rather than the playback channels (for instance, to
-	  select which input you wish to record from) run
-	  <command>alsamixer -c0 -Vcapture</command>. The
-	  <package>alsamixer</package> program has a
-	  <package>curses</package> text-based user interface to
-	  adjust sound levels for ALSA devices. Once
-	  <package>alsamixer</package> is running, get help by typing
-	  a question mark.
+	  Using the new PulseAudio-based volume applet, there is no way to adjust ALSA sound levels. If they are set too low, raising the PulseAudio sound levels may not work acceptably. For this contingency, the old <application>gstreamer</application>-based volume application is also available by default. It is available under the name <guilabel>Advanced Volume Control</guilabel>, in the <guilabel>Sound &amp; Video</guilabel> menu section. You will also need to use this application if you need to select an input channel for recording (for instance, line-in or mic-in).
