Mute key popup is odd

Bug Description

When the very nice mute key popup comes up, on mute it shows the volume level
and that is a muting. I think it should lower the volume bar to zero as well.
When it is unmuted, the volume bar should return to its previous state. This is
consistent with the activity on OSX.

Pop-up is actually provided by control-center. Note that this is about what is
does visually, not the actually function (which works correctly)

Confirmed; I'd expect to see a big red circle-with-line over the speaker, rather
than just "no notes"?

why is this not using themable stock icons
as used by the mixer applet?

a patch to use stock icons from the current theme Edit (2.0 KiB, text/plain)

attached patch replaces the images osd images with images from the theme, that way they are also in sync with i.e. the mixer applet. it also adds steps like the mixer applet to the volume icons.

Thank you for the patch. This upload fixes the issue:

I've modified your patch, the bright and eject icons you use are only provided by tango and not by hicolor or gnome themes, I let the standard icons used before for that

upstream comment:

"I don't think setting the volume bar to 0 on mute is a good idea. See bug
337896 for some rationale why it can be useful to actually see the volume level
one would get when unmuting. My vote goes to WONTFIX."

The volume level is indeed a good idea - as long as there is a clear mute icon (as there is in Ubuntu), then there is no problem.
