If I want to actually do mixing I use alsamixergui which seems to do
most of what I need to do.

I just don't see that any mixer other than kmix will dock into the kde
toolbar. Nor do I see anyway to set the multimedia keys to anything
other than the defaults, which appears to be kmix (but I'm not sure).

Oh, tried gamix this morning and it's a nice little demo of core dumps
:) Can't find kamix in my ubuntu packages.
