This is actually fairly easy to do. Here is an excellent video that provides step by step instructions.
Brief summary: Open Control Panel, create a shortcut of the sound applet, then create a shortcut, then create an Explorer based shortcut to the shortcut you just made. You can then move that to the taskbar.
As an alternative, I use a program called Audio Switcher, which might give you the functionality you desire, in the task tray.
