Blueprint changed by Theredbaron:

Whiteboard changed:
  Option #1: amixer; needed to open a terminal, not suitable for a newbie / lazzy
  Option #2: pavucontrol (depending on libpulse libraries); can put one-click handy icon on panel
  I support pavucontrol, and I think it needs the whole pulse-audio kit, but if that is not an option, you need to find something else /nio
  
  Pavucontrol does require the pulse-audio kit, but I believe it is quite worth it (unless there is a performance hit I don't know of). A mucher better volume manager then any others.

  In simple words, every user would like to see easy to use VOlume controller as in Windows(or ubuntu)...with Sliders....To be honest, alsa mixer is not so user friendly :(...
  
  [vanyok] I support this initiative. Current sound mixer is too simple
  and lacks of functionality, and alsa mixer is too difficult for newbies
  to use.

+ [Baron]@Amjjawad, for the default volume applet, you have to have
+ pavucontrol install for it to work (as far as I know). As for indicator-
+ volume, I don't think that is fixable really. It direcly calls gnome-
+ volume-manager. The only thing that could be done is ln -s pavucontrol
+ gnome-volume-manager, ect.
