I am seeing this also....it occurs when playing either audio or video in 
firefox.
In fact, Firefox does not even show up as an active application in the 
sound preferences applet (accessed by right clicking the system tray 
speaker icon).

Just as Udo described, the volume control in the system tray can be 
muted (or the slider moved up or down ) and has no effect on the sound 
level observed in firefox.
The slider within a YouTube video also has no effect. It too can be 
manipulated or muted to no effect.

With the system in this condition, the sound level is not adjustable.
Trying different settings in gstreamer-properties doesn't have any 
effect on Firefox either.


It does not look like this issue is related to the experimental disk, as 
I am not running it.
Instead I added the mate packages to an already installed instance of 
Hipster running on a physical machine.
However, I have been seeing this even before installing the mate packages.

The sound preferences applet does properly control sound levels for 
other applications such as Rhythmbox.
