How do I resolve XFCE's buggy volume plugins?

The instance of XFCE that I am using seems to be really buggy. I am forced to use both xfce-volumed-pulse and xfce-pulseaudio-plugin side by side, and the issue that arises from this is that now there are two notification indicators for the present volume.

When I remove xfce-volumed-pulse (this plugin is no longer shown on the official documentation), the multimedia key stops working, so there’s no notification indicator.

But when I remove xfce-pulseaudio-plugin, I am no longer able to access the slider widget in the control panel, that allows me to tap into pavucontrol.

What is happening here?

I’m using Xfce, and the program to control volume is “pavucontrol”, no problem with it…

Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so

Another name for this is the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, so that is right, actually - it is the same plugin I’ve mentioned. It prompts the option to use pavucontrol as the mixer.

If you check the General Tab in Properties, you can see the first option in Behaviour - “Enable keyboard shortcuts for volume control”. This isn’t working for me.

I wanted to log XFCE plugins, but I’m not really sure on how it should be done.

Which distro?

velox_vulnus OP ,

I am on Guix. Here’s the expression for https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/xfce.scm#n498.
