Was gnome-media actually rebuild without the pulseaudio Use flag? That's where gnome-volume-control comes from, not from the panel applets package. BTW, you can also do nicely without the esd USE flag and esound also, but you'll need to revdep-rebuild after because lots of packages will break (but they all still work perfectly after the rebuild.)
