Description of problem:
volume applet thinks that zero volume is the same as mute.  When the volume is changed to a level of zero, the mute indicator is shown on the applet and the mute checkbox is filled.  However, you can not use the mute checkbox to un-mute the system.  The only way to un-mute is to increase the volume level.  This is not intuitive.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-media-2.13.91-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Lower volume to zero
2. Notice that volume applet thinks it's muted
3. Attempt to un-mute via the mute checkbox.
  

Actual Results:  Frustration

Expected Results:  The applet should have never displayed that it was muted.  I had changed the volume to zero, which is not the same as mute.  In order to un-mute, the volume should be restored, but if I have it set to zero, what is the value to restore?  zero?  Then it will always show muted.

Additional info:

Note:  I looked through the other gnome-media audio/volume related bugs and there are similar bugs, but I don't think this one is a duplicate.
