Under polling you mean a soft that continuously checks the hardware mixer 
levels and sends a message to osd-notify whenever it changes? I'm not a 
programmer, but I think this is not a difficult thing to code. I have an IBM 
T42, and experienced the above-mentioned problems myself when i updated, and 
I'm willing to offer my help in the development (either by providing logs, or 
testing applications, whatever needed).
I'm not familiar with the way osd-notify receives events (although I think/hope 
the developers adhered some standards), but my opinion is, if we could find a 
reliable event source for the polling (maybe a file in /proc or /sys, or at 
least a memory address) this poller application could be finished within 
minutes and the numerous Thinkpad owners would be happier than ever with Jaunty 
:)
