[Ubuntu 18.04] How to put bare sound applet in Metacity panel?

[cross05]

I detest the Gnome 3 UI. So, I'm running Metacity.

The gargantuan kitchen-sink indicator applet is total rubbish, I don't want all of it. I'm not alone in this thinking since there are individual applets available for most of what it provides.
One applet I cannot find an individual version of is the sound-indicator applet. Is there any way to get a sound control in the panel without loading that overbloated kitchen-sink catch-all?

As an alternative, is there a way to edit what gets put into the kitchen-sink applet so I can remove the bloat?

Thanks.



(I did attempt to search the forums. These forums and the advanced search in particular are not intuitive, so I didn't get very far in my search.)

You can just use Pulseaudio to control all your sounds.
Make sure the important piece is installed with:

sudo apt install pavucontrol

to use it run:

pavucontrol

Also there should still be this:
Run:

gnome-volume-control-applet
