hmm. hard to know what icon name is requested there.
The icon name comes from PulseAudio so the output of "pacmd ls" should tell us. I think David provided a full list of icon names at some point, but not sure now.
Looking at pa_device_init_icon, it seems the icon name is of the form <base>-<detail?>-<bus?> where base can be audio-card audio-input-microphone audio-speakers audio-headset audio-headphones audio-handsfree camera-web computer phone multimedia-player video-display modem detail can be analog iec958 hdmi and bus can be something like pci usb bluetooth our current device icons include: audio-card audio-input-microphone audio-speakers video-display phone modem computer camera-web multimedia-player so it seems we are missing audio-headset audio-headphones audio-handsfree gnome-icon-theme-symbolic installs headphone-symbolic gnome-control-center installs audio-headset as a private icon Suggestions: 1) Update the icon naming spec to include all the audio- names above 2) Move audio-headset from gnome-control-center to gnome-icon-theme 3) Rename headphone-symbolic to audio-headphones-symbolic 4) Add audio-headphones and audio-handsfree icons to gnome-icon-theme
I prefer the extra heaphones emblem added to the volume level icon in the same way I like the VPN emblem added to the wifi signal icon. It extends a symbol the user is familiar with, rather than replacing. And while it may seem different and new to some, we use the clustered icons bringing up a single menu in other places like the lock screen. Replacing the double symbol with a single icon would be a step back from my point of view.
In addition to Matthias' comments would it not also make sense to ship a generic "audio" icon. AFAIU the icon spec will keep stripping off at "-" markers and try the most significant components again? e.g. if there is no "audio-headset" icon it will try to load an "audio" icon. This would seem to be a sensible and slightly future proof approach.
Audio-headphones was added for 3.8.0
audio-headset is in gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic now too. handsfree to come.

Oops. I've released a workaround 3.8.2.2 and once the bug will be addressed in shell it will be removed from gits again. See bug #700279
