Isn't the applet you are referring to called gnome-volume-control (as of Intrepid, in package gnome-media)? That's the applet I get when I right-click on the speaker in the top menu bar and select "open volume control" from the menu. Here's a screenshot of gnome-alsamixer: http://dollarunderscore

It seems that the function bibtex-autokey-get-title sets (case-fold- search t) right at the beginning, so its attempts at finding lowercase words is doomed to fail. Arguably [[:upper:]] and [[:lower:]] should actually work regardless of the value of the variable case-fold-search, so perhaps that s
