Have you seen the PulseAudio volume control applet (for Gnome)? My 
favorite two parts are being able to control sound for each application 
separately (Pidgin doesn't need to be as loud as Banshee), and being 
able to switch output while things are playing (makes using a headset 
much nicer). I actually stopped using PulseAudio to try OSS, and I'm 
thinking of going back just for those two things.
