The GNOME 1.4 packages are versions 1.9.1 and below. The rpm for these were created on a RedHat 7.2 system, and can be installed without conflict beside the gnome-applets package. These binaries have been renamed sound-monitor2 to avoid installation conflict with the standard GNOME 1.4 version.

The GNOME 2.x packages are versions 1.99.0 and above, and should work with both GNOME 2.0 and 2.2. The rpm version is built on a RedHat 8.0 system, and has been named back to sound-monitor (no 2). The GNOME 2 version has issues with some themes when the panel background is set to an image or transparent.

All versions (including old) are also listed on the GQapplets project download page.
