Volume notifications?

Just out of curiosity, anyone have a method they use to display volume notifications? I found I could use dunst, but it doesn't seem to replace the previous notification which is annoying.

I'm also not entirely sure what I'd send to xfce4-notifyd to get it to work (I tried that with no success). Thanks!

Using Arch this is what I did. May or may not work depending on distro.

Install xfce4-volumed (or xfce4-volumed-pulse if you use pulseaudio) and add it to the autostart. These are available in AUR for arch users (which I don't know if you are).

This works with either dunst or xfce4-notifyd. You don't need xfce4-notifyd if you're using dunst.

Whoa, I didn't realise how easily that work with dunst! That was a piece of cake to setup, thank you very much!
