sorry, this went out too fast: is there a difference betewen using xubuntu, and using ubuntu with xfce installed afterwards?
Didn't try installing Xfce on Ubuntu (I had Debian Squeeze on that laptop), but I guess that installing Xubuntu right away is easiest. What I did is copy a Xubuntu image on usb stick, try the live session first to get the taste, then install. From usb stick it installs in 10 minutes (but then of course come the updates, configuration etc.). The audio mixer in Xubuntu's panel is PulseAudio, if you want an ALSA mixer in the panel, install xfce4-mixer.
