Missing volume applet?

These were all installed. When I run gnome-volume-control, it just
prints a box that says "waiting for sound system to respond". Is it
that it can't determine which is the proper sound card to use?

Also, while I kind of understand what alacarte does, there doesn't
seem to be anything there that specifically relates to the volume
control. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Alex
