    <para>This is a legacy GNOME-2 package which has been deprecated by the
    GNOME developers and will be removed from the book in due course. If you
    are not building a GNOME desktop, this can provide a volume control / mixer
    application, but you may wish to consider simpler alternatives:</para>

    <para><ulink url="http://volumecontrol.sourceforge.net/">volumecontrol</ulink>,
    is a simple volume control and mixer which requires
    <xref linkend="gtk2"/>, and
    <xref linkend="alsa-utils"/>. Use ./autogen.sh to configure it.</para>

    <para><ulink url="http://gvolwheel.sourceforge.net/">gvolwheel</ulink>
    provides a volume control in a tray icon, for minimalist desktops. It uses
    <xref linkend="intltool"/>, <xref linkend="perl-xml-parser"/>, and there are
    different versions for <xref linkend="gtk2"/> (0.7) or
    <xref linkend="gtk3"/> (0.9).</para>
