Title:
  [SRU]Update indicator-sound-gtk2 with patch

Status in Sound Menu:
  New
Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  New
Status in “indicator-sound-gtk2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “indicator-sound-gtk2” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The indicator menu for sound not displaying is a major user
  interface failure.

   * The justification for making this upload is that the number of
  workarounds proposed are actually damaging to system integrity as well
  as allowing for shifts between desktop environment.

   * This patch resolves a conflict that will allow the menu to display.

  [Test Case]

   * Install stock Xubuntu 13.10.  The indicator menu for sound should
  fail to display when clicking on the sound icon.

  [Regression Potential]

   * There is a risk of further conflict between the gtk2 and gtk3 sound indicators. In previous releases the two versions were almost identical but this changed in Saucy (this is also the reason -gtk2 broke). In particular, there is a potential for the two indicators to use gsettings configuration keys in different ways which may lead to problems. Testing should be done on systems with both Unity and Xubuntu installed.
   
   * While Xubuntu is working on landing gtk3 indicators for 14.04 the landing of such for 13.10 now would be a massive change requiring approval by potentially the Technical Board.

  [Other Info]
   
   * In general Xubuntu users have been distressed over not having the indicator sound menu available which makes this an issue we would like to resolve expeditiously.

   * Xubuntu will need to adjust its website documentation slightly to
  note that users must select "Download updates while installing" during
  an installation from the LiveCD to ensure this fix is picked up to
  avoid a broken interface experience.
