Confirmed on Gutsy Tribe-5 64-bit with snd-hda-intel and SigmaTel STAC9872AK, Volume applet 2.19.91 using gstreamer 0.10.
Actual mute status of sound card isn't affected, but the applet icon randomly shows 'muted' status (both Icon and menu-item) in response to adjusting the slider. The control method can be dragging the slider, pressing the +/- buttons, or using the keyboard up/down keys.
I ran alsamixer in gnome-terminal to see if I could identify some commonality in the step-values but there doesn't appear to be one. Sometimes the mute indicator won't be effected; other times it will.
The indicator is toggling, so for example, the volume slider might start at 100% with the mute indicator 'off' (no mute). I press the down key a couple of times and the mute indicator shows 'on'. I press the down key a couple more times and the mute indicator goes off. A few more key presses and the same thing happens.
Moving the volume slider up causes the same effect.
