Description Jesse Keating 2006-11-29 04:02:02 UTC 
Easily dupable in xen.  Cryptic dialog regarding OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet. 
Obviously it shouldn't crash if there is no sound card.  Either silently fail or
run or whatever.  But not crash.  Poor user experience.

(this bug also exists in FC6)
Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-04-02 19:04:42 UTC 
We fixed this I think.  It was gst-register taking so long to run that the
applet was timing out.

Reopen if you still see it.
