The alternate workaround is to enable the pulseaudio option for the
lxqt-panel package. The volume plugin then starts on recent NetBSD;
I just confirmed that's the case with 10.99.9. (Now, I'm not offering
an opinion on what the best choice is here feature-wise, only
pointing out that it doesn't kill the panel.)
