Not exactly. I'll try to explain better, but something is obscure to me
too.

In GNOME 2.24 we have 

        * gnome-volume-control (AKA gst-mixer) from gnome-media
        * gnome-sound-properties from gnome-control-center
        * mixer_applet2 from gnome-applets
        
In current development release we have (at least it seems to me):

     A. With pulseaudio
              * gnome-volume-control (NEW, not the previous one) from
                gnome-media
              * gnome-volume-control-applet from gnome-media (new, a
                notification icon, not a real panel applet like the
                previous one)
     B. Without pulseaudio
              * gnome-volume-control (AKA gst-mixer) from gnome-media

So it seems to me that we should officially promote pulseaudio as
official dep, or readd volume control applet and audio capplet
somewhere.
