Xfce's indicator applet plugin, and the gtk2-based sound indicator and
using the scroll wheel on the volume bar pops up two NotifyOSD
notifications instead of one. I attached a screenshot.

Worth noting is that everything works as expected when clicking on the
icon and changing the audio that way or using my notebook's audio
controls - the problem only occurs when using the mouse wheel with the
mouse on top of the icon, having not clicked it.

Uninstalling xfce4-volumed "fixes" this issue, but of course doesn't let
me use my media keys on my notebook.

Roman, I have had a similar problem, it may be a good idea to merge
these two bug/issues: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9136.

My take on this is that if the user is changing volume directly or any
item directly from the indicator plugins that there shouldn't be any pop
up notifications at all because this is not how it's done in Mac OS X or
Windows. In Mac OS X the most you get are notifications if you hit
keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys such as volume or brightness. This makes
XFCE look messy and not as refined...

The text of the bug report is as follows:
------------------------------
Version: 4.10 XFCE
Distro: Xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Specific: Volume Controls...

There are two ways of adjusting audio volume or muting audio in Xubuntu:

The first is to use keyboard shortcut keys similar to how is done with
the Mac OS. When I use the shortcut keys on my keyboard to adjust or
mute the audio volume I get these great indicator pop-ups that tell me
that I have changed the volume.

The second method of changing the audio volume or muting it is to use the mouse and click on the volume indicator directly, this brings up a small drop down with a volume control or mute control. When I adjust volume with the mouse this way the volume indicator still generates a notification alert! This is redundant because a user who has changed the volume or muted the audio via the panel with the mouse doesn't need an indicator to show what level they just set the volume at. This makes the panel appear as if it is malfunctioning and does not look good.

I have found the solution, it all results from a dconf setting. If you
use the dconf-editor (part of the dconf-tools package) you'll find an
entry in com --> canonical --> indicator --> sound called "show-notify-
on-scroll" which you should uncheck (set to false) and that seems to fix
it.

Roman, tried that and nothing happened. In fact the problem is even
worse now because there are three duplicate indicators when I used the
mouse wheel and now this is normal...problems getting worse..

Had to completely disable and kill xfce4-volumed because of this...

This is a notify-osd bug. This is not a bug related to xfce4-volumed. In
fact in xfce4-volumed I create and keep a single notification, update it
and show it. Notification servers implementing the proprietary Canonical
sound gauge should update their single sound notification rather than
create multiple bubbles. Can this bug please be marked as invalid?
Thanks.

Using Xfce, Xfce's indicator applet plugin, and the gtk2-based sound
indicator and using the scroll wheel on the volume bar pops up two
NotifyOSD notifications instead of one. I attached a screenshot. I
don't know if the bug is in Xfce, indicator, or notify-osd, though, or
maybe my setup somehow.
