I cleaned mine up a bit in tint2 by configuring x11/openbox to skip the task bar for just tray-app.

  <applications>
    <application name="sound" class="Sound" type="utility">
      <desktop>all</desktop>
      <layer>above</layer>
      <skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
    </application>
  </applications>

If you are running current, audio/pavucontrol has recently been added as a second systray option.
