and then restart pulseaudio using the Run dialog (ALT+F2) or from the terminal (I just type in "pulseaudio" without extra parameters), then the sound applet's volume slider has no effect.
The "Output volume" slider in the Sound Preferences does still have an effect on the sound, but not the indicator applet's volume lider.
PS: Hopefully indicator-sound was the right package. It's kind of difficult since you can't right-click on indicators to find out any info about them. :P
