volumeicon error

Hello everyone, I installed volumeicon 0.3.0-1 from AUR, I'm using alsa+pulseaudio with no problems so far. But whenever I try to run volumeicon I get this error:

volumeicon: alsa_backend.c:88: asound_get_volume: Assertion `m_elem != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted

I always get that, even if I try to run it as root. I just don't know what could be causing this. I just set up openbox with lots of stuff and I really need this silly icon to control the volume of my computer.

Some of my current settings

/etc/asound.conf

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
}

# Explicit PulseAudio device
pcm.pulse {
  type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
  type pulse
}

# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0

my sound card according to lspci

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1611
    Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
    Memory at d0240000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
    Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
    Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: volumeicon error

It's working fine for me (openbox, alsa and pulseaudio). Have you installed the package pulseaudio-alsa?
Otherwise have a look at http://www.softwarebakery.com/maato/volumeicon.html there is a switch to configure for oss support...
