Description of problem:
I am using a VIA VT82C686 audio device (integrated into the motherboard) with my
copy of Red Hat Linux 8. Whenever I start gnome-volume-control, the app reports
an error regarding saving/loading the mixer settings. The plain error message is
as follows:

"An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
gnome-volume-control. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly."

When I click Details, it generates the following detailed error description:

The app doesn't seem to have any trouble afterwards, and I am able to adjust and
keep my audio and volume settings just fine. Perhaps the app is reporting a
bogus error?
