I was getting the same error.
Found the problem is a missing dependancy for the gnome mixer applet. Since the dependancy is gone, no mixer.
I just emerged the "gnome-applets" (I believe it was gnome-applets, may've been gnome-applet) package and it rebuilt it all including the mixer and dependancy, rebooted. Boom no more error, and the volume mixer seems to be loading and working fine now.
Hope it works for you too. |

To confirm, I had that same problem and did | Code: | | emerge gnome-applets |
but this did not work, after updateing my systemwith new use variables and then re-emergeing the offending package I found it worked.
I belive, according to porthole that the following use flags which I have in fixed it. apm and gstreamer
Edit /etc/make.conf
| Code: | | USE="........... apm gstreamer ........." |
| Code: | emerge --sync
emerge --update --deep --newuse world
emerge -p --depclean #this is a pretend so u can check if you going to mess things up
emerge --depclean #If u happy clap your hands
### Must have gentoolkit emerged for next command
revdep-rebuild
emerge gnome-applets
reboot
|
I suspect its the apm use flag that is needed, so you could leave out gstreamer i think, but the proccess takes so long that i dont think you should. Full use flag set for gnome-applets is: -doc +apm -acpi +ipv6 +gstreamer -debug. I found that only adding the 2 i mentioned solved the problem.

I had the same error. My USE flags are consistent with what you said about not needing more than the two,
| Code: | # emerge -pv gnome-applets
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.10.0 -acpi +apm -debug -doc +gstreamer -ipv6 0 kB
|
Simply emerging gnome-applets stopped the warning from appearing on my system. I don't have sound, as I haven't done the ALSA thing yet. |

| Thanks guys, a re-emerge of gnome-applets did the trick. Whats strange is that I just emerged gnome and made no changes to my use flags but it did not compile gstreamer. |

Well, none of this has got my mixer-applet enabled... 
Even with apm & gstreamer USE-flags enabled, i found this in the emerge-log for gnome-applets :- | Code: | checking for gstreamer-interfaces-0.8 >= 0.8.2
gstreamer-0.8 >= 0.8.2... configure: WARNING: *** 'mixer' applet will not be built *** |
...and that's in spite of having this version of gstreamer :- | Code: | gentoo taipan # ls -alF /var/log/portage/*streamer*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 352264 Jul 26 18:45 /var/log/portage/2585-gstreamer-0.8.9-r3.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1375 Jul 26 18:45 /var/log/portage/2586-gstreamer-0.8.9-r3.log |
I tell ya, i'm seriously considering masking gnome-2.10, & going back to 2.8 until the next release comes out - this is the umpteenth gripe i've encountered with 2.10!!! 
(Christ! I might even get gnome-bluetooth working if i do that...  )
For the record, i've installed gnome-light-2.10.0 (several times...), & this error occurs from the first boot, before gnome-applets has even been emerged. Because of this, i'd previously taken it for granted that the mixer-applet was now an integral part of gnome-panel rather than the applets-package, which would explain why it wasn't available by clicking "add to panel", but now i know better. 
(By the way, an "emerge world -uDN" would only impact nautilus & control-center, from a gstreamer point-of-view, & i don't see how that would influence things...  )
I'm gonna leave that error-message alone for now, in the hope that someone has an idea of a fix. I'd rather not delete it from the profile until every possibility has been exhausted - so any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

Got the same pb as Taipan67 :
Fresh Install of Gnome-light, sound works well with ALSA,
I had "gstreamer" and "pam" in my USE flag, but MixerApplet wasn't build.
Make sure you have the gst-plugins-alsa package installed.
remerge gnome-applets and look at :
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/
to see if GNOME_MIXERApplet.server exist.
if not :
| Code: | emerge gnome-media
emerge gnome-applets |
