Diego, thanks to your report I figured out a problem with e_gadcon.c
that was being exposed as this bug.

the problem was that modules called e_gadcon_provider_register() from
their e_modapi_init(),and the gadgets are being populated immediately,
but module init might not be finished by then. Most modules didn't
care as they set their stuff as globals instead of mod->data as mixer
did. As mixer did not had mixer_mod or mixer_mod->data set, it was
refusing to add gadgets at this time. It ended showing in shelves
since e_shelf_init() ended calling e_gadcon_populate() and so it was
loaded later.

Now everything is done in idler and problem should be fixed.
