Can you be more specific? I don't know what "operating system sound
control" is. What bug are you referring to?
There's a lot of work going on right now to develop audio-related
interface standards for the web. If there's a particular feature you'd
like supported it's a good time to raise the issue with one of those groups.

I think what the original poster is asking for is a control in the
browser to control audio from the web. Currently you either have to use
the OS controls, or you have to work out which website is generating
sound and use whatever controls (if they exist) on that website to turn
it off.
There are a number of bugs on this -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24418 was recently closed
and then reopened as a meta bug.
(And, one of the connected bugs points out that this control is required
by http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-UAAG10-20021217/ - having just looked
that up, I see that the requirement is still there in the current draft
of UAAG 2.0...)
