True if you only use kmix, that via 'ps ax' shows up as something like this:
[ ... ] kmix [kdeinit] -caption KMix -icon kmix -miniicon kmix
But if you - separately and additionally - add the "Sound Mixer"
applet to the KDE kicker (the panel) *plus* make sure you split the
volume control slider for the "Sound Mixer" channel you have a working
volume control .. :)
At least this is how it works here, with
"Kmix Panel Applet 2.6 (Using KDE 3.5.2)", and on Debian unstable ..
If I play with these apps there seem to be glitches, so they do not
seem to work "properly". But with a bit of fiddling between what KDE
calls "Sound Mixer" and "Kmix" (both actually seem to be part of the
same application, i.e. kmix) you should have a working volume slider
...
HTH
